This study aimed to investigate the caries activity (CA) and its caries status in children aged 3-5 years in Zhao County, Hebei province, China and to explore the related factors.
Cariostat caries activity test and oral examination were performed on children aged 3-5 years old in Zhao county, Hebei province by a stratified sampling. A questionnaire survey was used to analyze the CA-related factors and the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was to evaluate the diagnostic value of Cariostat caries activity test in children with early childhood caries (ECC).
The caries status among preschool children in Zhao county of Hebei province was serious. The higher the mean dmft of children, the greater the CA value. Mother's educational level and children's diet and lifestyle habits were closely related to CA. The Cariostat caries activity test has good efficacy in diagnosing ECC with high sensitivity and specificity.
本研究旨在调查中国河北省赵县3至5岁儿童的龋活性（CA）及其龋病状况，并探索相关因素。
采用分层抽样法，对河北省赵县3至5岁儿童进行Cariostat龋活性试验和口腔检查。采用问卷调查分析与CA相关的因素，并采用受试者工作特征曲线（ROC）评估Cariostat龋活性试验对幼儿龋（ECC）儿童的诊断价值。
河北省赵县学龄前儿童的龋病状况严重。儿童平均龋失补牙面数（dmft）越高，CA值越大。母亲的教育程度以及儿童的饮食和生活方式习惯与CA密切相关。Cariostat龋活性试验在诊断ECC方面具有良好的效果，敏感性和特异性高。
