The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence and experience of early childhood caries among 5- to 6-year-old children in Southeast Asia.
A literature search was conducted of three electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE and ISI Web of Science) to identify publications from the years 2006 to 2015. Additional hand searches of government reports and national studies were performed. Both primary and secondary data sources were included in the study. The inclusion criterion was the findings reported on the caries prevalence and/or caries experience in decayed, missing or filled tooth (dmft) or decayed, missing or filled surface (dmfs) scores of 5- to 6-year-old children in Southeast Asian countries. The papers retrieved were assessed by two independent reviewers, and the final decision was made by consensus.
The search identified 320 papers for screening; 293 were excluded and 27 full papers were retrieved and reviewed. Of those, 12 were included. Among the countries, variations were found in caries prevalence and caries experience. The caries prevalence of 5- to 6-year-old children ranged from 25% to 95%, and the caries experience (given as mean dmft score) ranged from 0.9 to 9.0. The median caries prevalence and caries experience (mean dmft score) of children 5-6 years of age were 79% and 5.1, respectively.
Based on the included studies, which are limited in quality and quantity, there is evidence that caries prevalence and experience are high amongst preschool children in Southeast Asia.
本研究旨在调查东南亚5至6岁儿童的幼儿龋齿患病率及患病情况。
对三个电子数据库（PubMed、EMBASE和ISI Web of Science）进行文献检索，以确定2006年至2015年期间的出版物。另外还对政府报告和国家研究进行了手工检索。研究纳入了主要和次要数据源。纳入标准是关于东南亚国家5至6岁儿童龋齿患病率和/或龋齿患病情况（以龋失补牙数（dmft）或龋失补牙面数（dmfs）评分表示）的报告结果。检索到的论文由两名独立评审员进行评估，最终决定通过协商达成。
检索共识别出320篇论文进行筛选；排除293篇，检索并审阅了27篇全文。其中，12篇被纳入。在这些国家中，龋齿患病率和患病情况存在差异。5至6岁儿童的龋齿患病率在25%至95%之间，龋齿患病情况（以平均dmft评分表示）在0.9至9.0之间。5至6岁儿童的龋齿患病率中位数和龋齿患病情况（平均dmft评分）分别为79%和5.1。
基于纳入的研究，这些研究在质量和数量上都有限，有证据表明东南亚学龄前儿童的龋齿患病率和患病情况较高。
