This retrospective chart review evaluated the relationship between specific dietary questions used in caries risk assessment and planned restorative treatment among patients attending a dental school's clinic.
Records for 6,218 adult patients attending the University of Iowa College of Dentistry who completed caries risk assessments and comprehensive oral examinations during 2018-2019 were included. The number of planned caries restorative treatments were compared between groups based on responses to specific dietary questions on the caries risk assessment. Analyses included chi-square and Wilcoxon rank-sum tests and logistic regression for factors associated with caries treatments.
About 20% of subjects needed caries treatment, and regression analyses found that younger age, having unstructured meals, drinking sugared beverages daily, and drinking them for more than 30 min were significantly (p < 0.01) associated with having caries.
Specific and focused questions on dietary practices are strongly associated with caries, and may be useful in improving caries risk assessments.
本回顾性病历审查评估了在一所牙科学院诊所就诊的患者中,用于龋病风险评估的特定饮食问题与计划的修复治疗之间的关系。
纳入了2018 - 2019年期间在爱荷华大学牙科学院完成龋病风险评估和全面口腔检查的6218名成年患者的记录。根据龋病风险评估中对特定饮食问题的回答,比较各组计划的龋病修复治疗数量。分析包括卡方检验和威尔科克森秩和检验,以及与龋病治疗相关因素的逻辑回归分析。
约20%的受试者需要进行龋病治疗,回归分析发现,年龄较小、饮食无规律、每天饮用含糖饮料以及饮用时间超过30分钟与患龋病显著相关(p < 0.01)。
关于饮食习惯的特定且重点突出的问题与龋病密切相关,可能有助于改进龋病风险评估。
