Dental caries is a serious multifactorial oral disease that causes demineralization of the tooth's hard tissues and affects more than half of the world's population. The objective of this exploratory systematic review was to determine the prevalence of dental caries in Mexican children and adolescents, as well as related factors such as sex, nutritional status, type of dentition, education, living conditions, socioeconomic level, and the type of demographic area. The eligibility criteria to be considered were observational studies whose sample included Mexicans 0-15 years of age in which the prevalence or an index of dental caries had been evaluated. Eligible studies were identified through the search carried out in 6 databases and manual search, without publication time restriction. Fifty-four studies were found that met the eligibility criteria. In these included studies it was observed that, in the last decades, the prevalence of caries in Mexican children and adolescents exhibits a tendency to decrease this disease. In the 1980s, caries prevalences of up to 92.8% were reported; between 1990-1999, the highest reported prevalence was 97%; from 2000-2009, the highest reported prevalence was 95%; from 2010 to 2019 the highest prevalence was 94.6%; and from 2020 and 2021, prevalences of up to 88.5% were reported. Although there has been a decrease in the prevalence of caries in Mexican children, this disease continues to be linked to biological, behavioral and socioeconomic determinants.
龋齿是一种严重的多因素口腔疾病，会导致牙齿硬组织脱矿，影响全球半数以上人口。本探索性系统评价的目的是确定墨西哥儿童和青少年龋齿的患病率，以及相关因素，如性别、营养状况、牙列类型、教育程度、生活条件、社会经济水平和人口区域类型。纳入标准为观察性研究，其样本包括0至15岁的墨西哥人，其中已评估龋齿患病率或龋齿指数。通过在6个数据库中进行检索和人工检索来识别符合条件的研究，无发表时间限制。共发现54项符合纳入标准的研究。在这些纳入研究中观察到，在过去几十年里，墨西哥儿童和青少年龋齿的患病率呈下降趋势。在20世纪80年代，报告的龋齿患病率高达92.8%；1990 - 1999年间，报告的最高患病率为97%；2000 - 2009年间，报告的最高患病率为95%；2010年至2019年，最高患病率为94.6%；2020年至2021年，报告的患病率高达88.5%。尽管墨西哥儿童龋齿患病率有所下降，但这种疾病仍然与生物学、行为和社会经济决定因素有关。
