To examine the oral health status and dental treatment needs of children Syrian refugees in Jordan.
A convenience sample of Syrian refugee children who aged between 6 and 12 years at al-Zaatari camp was used for the purpose of this study. Examination was performed according to the method proposed by WHO. DMFT and gingival indices were examined and reported by a trained dentist.
A total of 125 children were examined. The mean DMFT score was 3.64 ± 9.83, and the mean dmft score was 2.98 ± 4.7. More than half of children (50.4%) were found to have high caries risk according to CAMBRA scale. Most of the DMFT score was contributed by decayed and missing teeth. Nearly, half of children (44.8%) showed fluorosis and almost all children had chronic gingivitis. More than half of the participants (55.2%) reported that they needed dental treatment during their stay at the camp, but only half (52%) received treatment mainly tooth extraction and prescription of medication. Only 6.4% of children received conservative dental treatment.
Syrian refugee children in Jordan were found to have high levels of unmet dental needs. Accessibility of dental services was found to be a primary barrier to care.
调查约旦境内叙利亚难民儿童的口腔健康状况及牙科治疗需求。
本研究采用便利抽样法，选取了扎塔里难民营中年龄在6至12岁的叙利亚难民儿童。检查按照世界卫生组织提议的方法进行。由一名经过培训的牙医检查并报告龋失补指数（DMFT）和牙龈指数。
共检查了125名儿童。平均龋失补指数（DMFT）得分为3.64±9.83，平均乳牙龋失补指数（dmft）得分为2.98±4.7。根据龋病管理风险评估（CAMBRA）量表，超过半数（50.4%）的儿童被发现有高龋病风险。龋失补指数（DMFT）得分大多来自龋齿和缺失牙。近半数（44.8%）的儿童出现氟斑牙，几乎所有儿童都患有慢性牙龈炎。超过半数（55.2%）的参与者报告称他们在难民营期间需要牙科治疗，但只有半数（52%）接受了治疗，主要是拔牙和药物处方。只有6.4%的儿童接受了保守牙科治疗。
约旦境内的叙利亚难民儿童存在大量未满足的牙科需求。牙科服务的可及性被发现是获得护理的主要障碍。
