Adults aged 25-54 years residing in a sugar and a sisal estate in Tanzania were examined dentally. The mean DMFT score for sugar cane cutters, clerical employees and sisal plant workers was 3.5, 3.1 and 2.0 respectively. Plaque, calculus and gingival bleeding were observed in 53-98%, 45-79% and 13-30% of the surfaces examined, respectively. It is concluded from this study that, in the age groups of Tanzanians studied, most teeth are lost as a result of caries.
对居住在坦桑尼亚一个甘蔗种植园和一个剑麻种植园的25至54岁成年人进行了牙科检查。甘蔗砍伐工人、文职雇员和剑麻种植园工人的平均龋失补指数(DMFT)得分分别为3.5、3.1和2.0。在所检查的表面中,分别有53%至98%、45%至79%和13%至30%观察到牙菌斑、牙结石和牙龈出血。从这项研究得出的结论是,在所研究的坦桑尼亚年龄组中,大多数牙齿因龋齿而缺失。
