Abstract

CONTEXT

Dental caries is the most common dental disease of childhood. India with a population of more than 135 crores accounts for a high proportion of dental morbidity. Poor oral health has a significant impact on quality of life, especially in rural areas. The consequences of untreated dental caries include pain, abscess, and space infections which may lead to loss of function and school hours. These consequences are of utmost important while planning a community dental care program.

AIMS

To assess the prevalence of dental caries, caries experience, and severity of dental caries among 6-12 years old schoolchildren in the rural areas of Kollam District, Kerala State.

SETTINGS AND DESIGN

A community school-based, descriptive, cross-sectional study in the rural areas of Kollam District.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A cross-sectional study was carried among 2194 schoolchildren in the rural areas of Kollam District in the age group of 6-12 years. Children from eight randomly selected schools were examined for pufa/PUFA and dmf/DMF indices.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED

SPSS version 17.0, Mann-Whitney, t-test, KruskalWallis test. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS

Overall caries prevalence among the total population was found to be 74%. The prevalence of caries in the deciduous dentition was 61% and a mean decayed, missing, filled teeth value of 2.74 ± 3.200 and for the permanent dentition the caries prevalence of 26.8% and a mean Decayed, Missing, Filled Teeth of 0.66 ± 1.360 were observed. The prevalence of untreated dental caries (pufa/PUFA) was 40.8%. The pufa prevalence in deciduous dentition was 38.3% with a mean pufa of 0.99 ± 1.679. Moreover, the PUFA prevalence in permanent dentition was 4.1% with a mean PUFA of 0.06 ± 0.349. The highest prevalence of untreated dental caries (pufa/PUFA) was found in the 7 years' age group (52%) and the lowest in 12 years' age group (22.4%).

摘要

背景

龋齿是儿童中最常见的牙科疾病。印度拥有超过 13.5 亿人口，其牙科发病率很高。口腔健康状况不佳会显著影响生活质量，尤其是在农村地区。未经治疗的龋齿会导致疼痛、脓肿和空间感染，从而导致功能丧失和缺课。在规划社区牙科保健计划时，这些后果至关重要。

目的

评估喀拉拉邦科拉姆区农村地区 6-12 岁学童的龋齿患病率、龋齿患病经历和龋齿严重程度。

设置和设计

喀拉拉邦科拉姆区农村地区的一项社区学校为基础的描述性、横断面研究。

材料和方法

在喀拉拉邦科拉姆区农村地区的 8 所随机选定的学校中，对 2194 名 6-12 岁的学童进行了横断面研究，对 pufa/PUFA 和 dmf/DMF 指数进行了检查。

统计分析方法

使用 SPSS 版本 17.0、Mann-Whitney、t 检验、KruskalWallis 检验。P<0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。

结果与结论

总体人群的龋齿总患病率为 74%。乳牙龋齿患病率为 61%，平均患龋齿、缺失、补牙牙齿数为 2.74 ± 3.200；恒牙龋齿患病率为 26.8%，平均患龋齿、缺失、补牙牙齿数为 0.66 ± 1.360。未治疗的龋齿患病率（pufa/PUFA）为 40.8%。乳牙 pufa 患病率为 38.3%，平均 pufa 为 0.99 ± 1.679。此外，恒牙 PUFA 患病率为 4.1%，平均 PUFA 为 0.06 ± 0.349。未治疗的龋齿（pufa/PUFA）患病率最高的是 7 岁年龄组（52%），最低的是 12 岁年龄组（22.4%）。
