To investigate the general knowledge of dental aesthetics among three universities students in Fuzhou city and the factors influencing their satisfaction with general dental appearance and the color of anterior teeth.
A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted on 506 university students in Fuzhou city to identify their general knowledge of dental aesthetics. Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the factors influencing the study populations' satisfaction with dental appearance and the color of anterior teeth with SPSS 13.0 software package.
The 506 respondents consisted of 220 males (43.5%) and 286 females (56.5%), with a mean age of 22.65 years (SD=1.95). 53.6% of these participants were not satisfied with their dental appearance, 57.2% were not satisfied with the color of their anterior teeth. The majority of the participants (66%) chose tooth bleaching as the most desired treatment to improve their dental appearance. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that respondents' dissatisfaction with dental appearance was significantly associated with gender (OR=1.94, 95% CI: 1.03-3.68), the opinion that their teeth were irregular (OR=2.70, 95% CI: 1.61-4.54) and unhappiness with anterior teeth color (OR=4.27; 95% CI: 2.47-7.33). The results also indicated that respondents' dissatisfaction with the color of anterior teeth was significantly associated with the professional learning experience of dentistry (OR=0.26, 95% CI: 1.61-4.54) and gender (OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.05-2.96).
Most of the respondents in this study are not satisfied with their dental appearance is the color of anterior teeth. Tooth bleaching is the treatment most desired by the participants. Tooth color is one of the most important factors determining whether respondents are satisfied with their dental appearance. Females pay a greater attention to dental aesthetics than males. Over one year professional learning experience of dentistry is the protective factor of respondents' satisfaction with the color of their anterior teeth.
调查福州市三所高校学生对牙齿美学的一般认知，以及影响他们对牙齿整体外观和前牙颜色满意度的因素。
对福州市506名大学生进行横断面问卷调查，以确定他们对牙齿美学的一般认知。使用SPSS 13.0软件包进行逻辑回归分析，以评估影响研究人群对牙齿外观和前牙颜色满意度的因素。
506名受访者中，男性220名（43.5%），女性286名（56.5%），平均年龄22.65岁（标准差=1.95）。53.6%的参与者对自己的牙齿外观不满意，57.2%的人对前牙颜色不满意。大多数参与者（66%）选择牙齿美白作为改善牙齿外观最期望的治疗方法。多因素逻辑回归分析显示，受访者对牙齿外观的不满与性别（比值比=1.94，95%可信区间：1.03 - 3.68）、认为自己牙齿不整齐（比值比=2.70，95%可信区间：1.61 - 4.54）以及对前牙颜色不满意（比值比=4.27；95%可信区间：2.47 - 7.33）显著相关。结果还表明，受访者对前牙颜色的不满与牙科专业学习经历（比值比=0.26，95%可信区间：1.61 - 4.54）和性别（比值比=1.76，95%可信区间：1.05 - 2.96）显著相关。
本研究中的大多数受访者对自己的牙齿外观和前牙颜色不满意。牙齿美白是参与者最期望的治疗方法。牙齿颜色是决定受访者对牙齿外观是否满意的最重要因素之一。女性比男性更关注牙齿美学。超过一年的牙科专业学习经历是受访者对前牙颜色满意度的保护因素。
