Abstract

An investigation has been conducted in order to assess the oral health status and need for dental treatment among Cape Coloreds resident in homes for the aged in the Cape Peninsula of South Africa. Tooth loss was greater in females than in males (P less than 0.002) but a statistically significantly greater proportion of surviving teeth were grossly carious in men than in women (P less than 0.002). More teeth had survived in the mandible than in the maxilla (P less than 0.002) and proportionately more teeth were grossly carious in the maxilla than in the mandible (P less than 0.002). The distribution pattern of the remaining dentition according to tooth type was similar for both jaws, the canines being the most persistent teeth.

摘要

为评估南非开普半岛老年之家的科伊科伊有色人种居民的口腔健康状况及牙科治疗需求，已开展一项调查。女性的牙齿缺失情况比男性更严重（P<0.002），但在存活牙齿中，男性牙齿严重龋坏的比例在统计学上显著高于女性（P<0.002）。下颌留存的牙齿比上颌更多（P<0.002），而上颌中严重龋坏的牙齿比例相对高于下颌（P<0.002）。根据牙型，两颌剩余牙列的分布模式相似，尖牙是留存最久的牙齿。
