The purpose of this repeated cross-sectional study was to investigate the prevalence and severity of oral hygiene conditions in Cambodian primary school children.
Oral examinations were conducted on 2,020 school children (1st-6th grade) at a public primary school in Siem Reap, Cambodia from 2013 to 2015, focusing on plaque adhesion, gingiva, and dental calculus deposition. Data analysis was performed on 1,998 children without any missing data, and the chi-square test was used to compare the variables.
The prevalence of dental plaque adhesion in 2013, 2014, and 2015 was 93.6%, 93.7%, and 85.1%, respectively. The prevalence of gingivitis in 2013, 2014, and 2015 was 93.1%, 92.1%, and 88.8%, respectively. The prevalence of dental calculus deposition in 2013, 2014, and 2015 was 55.1%, 19.3%, and 34.7%, respectively. Significant differences were observed in all variables each year (P < 0.001).
The findings of this study suggest that oral hygiene conditions were poor in this population.
本重复横断面研究旨在调查柬埔寨小学生口腔卫生状况的流行程度和严重程度。
2013 年至 2015 年,在柬埔寨暹粒的一所公立小学对 2020 名学生(1 至 6 年级)进行了口腔检查,重点关注牙菌斑附着、牙龈和牙石沉积。对 1998 名无任何缺失数据的儿童进行数据分析,并使用卡方检验比较变量。
2013 年、2014 年和 2015 年牙菌斑附着的患病率分别为 93.6%、93.7%和 85.1%。2013 年、2014 年和 2015 年牙龈炎的患病率分别为 93.1%、92.1%和 88.8%。2013 年、2014 年和 2015 年牙石沉积的患病率分别为 55.1%、19.3%和 34.7%。每年所有变量均有显著差异(P<0.001)。
本研究结果表明,该人群口腔卫生状况较差。
