The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between packaged product label and medication package insert reading habits of parents and their children's oral/dental health.
A questionnaire including demographic characteristics and label/insert reading habits was filled by parents of 301 children who referred to the Pediatric Dentistry Department. The children were examined intraorally and dmft/DMFT and ICDAS II scores were recorded. The data were evaluated statistically.
Label and medication package insert reading were found in 71.4% and 88.4% of the parents, respectively. Label reading increased as the age of the child and the number of children in the family increased. Medical package insert reading increased as the mother's education and SLS/paraben knowledge increased. Decrease of 1 point in ICDAS II resulted in the 1.410 times increase in the rate of medical package insert reading of the parents.
It is concluded that improving the label and medical insert reading rate of the parents would be effective for providing better oral and dental health for their children.
本研究旨在评估家长对包装产品标签和用药说明书阅读习惯与儿童口腔/牙齿健康之间的关系。
本研究通过问卷调查的方式，对 301 名儿童的家长进行了调查，这些儿童都曾前往儿科牙科就诊。对这些儿童进行了口腔内部检查，并记录了 dmft/DMFT 和 ICDAS II 评分。对数据进行了统计学评估。
分别有 71.4%和 88.4%的家长阅读过产品标签和用药说明书。孩子的年龄和家庭中孩子的数量越大，家长阅读标签的比例越高。母亲的教育程度和 SLS/对羟基苯甲酸酯的知识越高，家长阅读用药说明书的比例也越高。ICDAS II 评分每降低 1 分，家长阅读用药说明书的比例就会增加 1.410 倍。
提高家长阅读标签和用药说明书的比例，将有助于为儿童提供更好的口腔和牙齿健康。
