Abstract

AIM

To evaluate unmet restorative treatment needs (URTN) among the children visiting Dental Clinics Complex (DCC), King Faisal University in Al Ahsa region of Eastern Province, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 332 children, 3-13 years old. All the children were grouped based on dentition and gender. Details of patient history, clinical examination, radiographs, and the proposed treatment plan was accessed from Titanium patient management software to assess URTN.

RESULT

Only 37 children (11.14%) reported to be caries free while the remaining 295 children (88.16%) had one or more carious teeth which needed treatment. Unmet restorative treatment needs were higher for restorable teeth and stainless steel (SS) crown in deciduous dentition group while mixed dentition group showed higher URTN for unrestorable teeth, missing tooth due to caries, filled tooth with caries, remaining root and space maintenance. Based on gender, URTN like restorable teeth and filled tooth with caries were more among girls while missing tooth due to caries and SS crown were more among boys.

CONCLUSION

Majority of the children had untreated carious teeth. Children in the mixed dentition group showed higher URTN.

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE

More emphasis on addressing URTN is needed. Improving dental healthcare services to meet the oral healthcare needs, eventually promotes overall quality of life of an individual.

摘要

目的

评估沙特阿拉伯王国东部省阿萨地区费萨尔国王大学牙科综合诊所（DCC）就诊儿童中未满足的修复治疗需求（URTN）。

材料与方法

对332名3至13岁的儿童进行了一项横断面研究。所有儿童根据牙列和性别分组。从钛患者管理软件中获取患者病史、临床检查、X光片和拟议治疗计划的详细信息，以评估URTN。

结果

只有37名儿童（11.14%）报告无龋齿，其余295名儿童（88.16%）有一颗或多颗需要治疗的龋齿。乳牙列组中可修复牙齿和不锈钢（SS）冠的未满足修复治疗需求较高，而混合牙列组中不可修复牙齿、因龋齿缺失的牙齿、有龋齿的充填牙、残留牙根和间隙保持的URTN较高。基于性别，可修复牙齿和有龋齿的充填牙的URTN在女孩中更多，而因龋齿缺失的牙齿和SS冠在男孩中更多。
