Brookdale Hospital and Medical Center's Prenatal Care Assistance Program (PCAP) provides oral health education and treatment to expectant mothers from a minority, impoverished, high-risk population. A chart review examined dental records for 42 children of mothers who took PCAP training versus 49 children of mothers who did not. At age 2, the children of PCAP mothers had fewer dental caries, less severe dental caries and fewer extractions. When combining children at ages 2 and 3, results were statistically significant and clinically important. Evidence strongly suggests the PCAP program can lead to vastly improved oral health of participants' young children.
布鲁克代尔医院及医疗中心的产前护理援助项目（PCAP）为来自少数族裔、贫困、高危人群的准妈妈提供口腔健康教育与治疗。一项图表审查研究了42名接受PCAP培训的母亲所生子女的牙科记录，并与49名未接受培训的母亲所生子女的记录进行对比。在2岁时，接受PCAP培训母亲的子女龋齿更少、龋齿情况没那么严重，拔牙次数也更少。将2岁和3岁的儿童合并统计时，结果具有统计学意义且具有临床重要性。有证据有力地表明，PCAP项目能够极大改善参与者幼儿的口腔健康状况。
