The quality of oral health can be estimated by its own indicators, one of which is the Decayed-Missing-Filled index (DMF-T for permanent teeth and dmf-t for deciduous teeth index). Caries can be prevented and successfully controlled by comparing clinical and epidemiological data. The basic prerequisite for this approach is data collection through systematic examinations, the results of which are a starting point for a prevention programme. The aim of the study is to define the oral health of elementary schoolchildren in one municipality of Slovenia, focusing on 6-, 12- and 15-year-old children.
A prospective epidemiological study of elementary school children (aged 6, 12 and 15) of municipality Murska Sobota, Slovenia, was performed over four years. Data were obtained from the dental records of elementary schoolchildren acquired from a specialist in paediatric dentistry. Collected data included age, gender, the number of carious teeth and tooth fillings per child in deciduous and permanent teeth, dmf-t/DMF-T index and the percentage of primary and secondary healthy children. Statistical analysis was performed using SPPS 25.
Data from schoolchildren were used (1256 girls, 1281 boys). The number of carious deciduous teeth per person in 6-year-olds (3.2-3.8) was higher than the number of (carious) permanent teeth in 12-year-olds (0.3-1.2). The number of filings per person in deciduous teeth in 6-year-olds (0.5-0.6) was lower than it was in permanent teeth in 12-year-olds (0.3-1.2). Dmf-t index in 6-year-olds was from 4 to 4.6; DMF-T index in 12-year-olds were from 1.2 to 2.2 and in 15-year-olds from 2.4 to 3.8. The percentage of primary healthy children was lower for older children, but the percentage of secondary healthy children was higher for older children.
Monitoring oral health is important, and school has an important role in it; however, caries control has yet to be successful.
口腔健康的质量可以通过其自身的指标来评估，其中之一是龋齿、缺失、补牙指数（恒牙用 DMF-T 表示，乳牙用 dmf-t 表示）。通过比较临床和流行病学数据，可以预防和成功控制龋齿。这种方法的基本前提是通过系统检查收集数据，其结果是预防计划的起点。本研究的目的是确定斯洛文尼亚一个直辖市小学生的口腔健康状况，重点关注 6 岁、12 岁和 15 岁的儿童。
对斯洛文尼亚默尔斯卡索博塔市的小学生（6 岁、12 岁和 15 岁）进行了为期四年的前瞻性流行病学研究。数据来自儿科牙医从小学生的牙科记录中获取。收集的数据包括年龄、性别、每个儿童恒牙和乳牙的龋齿和补牙数量、dmf-t/DMF-T 指数以及初级和二级健康儿童的百分比。使用 SPPS 25 进行统计分析。
使用了小学生的数据（1256 名女生，1281 名男生）。6 岁儿童每人口腔龋齿数（3.2-3.8）高于 12 岁儿童（0.3-1.2）每人口腔恒牙龋齿数。6 岁儿童每人口腔乳牙补牙数（0.5-0.6）低于 12 岁儿童每人口腔恒牙补牙数（0.3-1.2）。6 岁儿童的 dmf-t 指数为 4 至 4.6；12 岁儿童的 DMF-T 指数为 1.2 至 2.2，15 岁儿童的指数为 2.4 至 3.8。年龄较大的儿童初级健康儿童的比例较低，但年龄较大的儿童二级健康儿童的比例较高。
监测口腔健康很重要，学校在其中起着重要作用；然而，龋齿控制尚未成功。
