A dental survey of 1,002 children aged 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 years was carried out in Brisbane using criteria and methods of the World Health Organization. Mean DMFT per child were substantially lower than expected for a non-fluoridated area, being 0.7, 2.0, 3.1, 4.7 and 7.2 for the respective age groups. These scores represent a 50% reduction on levels reported in 1954 and a 20-35% reduction on caries experience of Queensland country children in 1967. 21% of the sample consumed fluoride tablets regularly and these had caries levels virtually identical with life-time residents of fluoridated areas. Compared with children never taking tablets they had 58-79% fewer dmft and 28-54% fewer DMFT. From data of a study of Townsville in 1975 after 10 years' fluoridation it can be calculated that there would be approximately 180,000 fewer restorations required in Brisbane if that city had been fluoridated 10 years previously.
在布里斯班,采用世界卫生组织的标准和方法,对1002名6岁、8岁、10岁、12岁和14岁的儿童进行了牙科调查。每个儿童的平均龋失补牙数(DMFT)大大低于非氟化地区的预期,各年龄组分别为0.7、2.0、3.1、4.7和7.2。这些分数比1954年报告的水平降低了50%,比1967年昆士兰乡村儿童的龋齿发病率降低了20%-35%。21%的样本定期服用氟片,他们的龋齿水平与氟化地区的长期居民几乎相同。与从未服用氟片的儿童相比,他们的乳牙龋失补牙数(dmft)少58%-79%,恒牙龋失补牙数(DMFT)少28%-54%。根据1975年对汤斯维尔市进行的一项研究的数据,在经过10年的氟化处理后,可以计算出,如果布里斯班在10年前就进行氟化处理,那么该市所需的修复治疗将减少约18万例。
