Aim of this study was to analyse and compare the social perception of children with healthy teeth, visible dental caries and visible dental treatments by children (with and without caries experience) and their parents.
Images of three children (healthy teeth; untreated dental caries; treated caries i.e. restorations and missing teeth as consequence of caries treatment) were presented to fourto nine-years-old children with (n = 92) or without caries experience (n = 88) and their parents. The social perception was measured with a standardised interview (children) and a standardised questionnaire (parents). The results were statistically analysed by Wilcoxon signed-rank, Wilcoxon ranksum and chi-squared-tests (p < 0.05).
Children and adults perceived children with (un)treated visible dental caries less positively than children with healthy teeth.
本研究旨在分析和比较儿童（有或无龋齿经历）及其父母对健康牙齿、有可见龋齿和有可见治疗的儿童的社会认知。
向 4 至 9 岁有（n=92）或无龋齿经历（n=88）的儿童及其父母展示了三张儿童的图片（健康的牙齿；未经治疗的龋齿；治疗后的龋齿，即龋齿治疗导致的修复和缺失的牙齿）。采用标准化访谈（儿童）和标准化问卷（父母）测量社会认知。采用 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验、Wilcoxon 秩和检验和卡方检验对结果进行统计学分析（p<0.05）。
儿童和成年人对（未经）治疗的有可见龋齿的儿童的看法不如对健康牙齿的儿童积极。
