Oral health parameters were examined for 211 schoolchildren (128 Aborigines and 83 Caucasians) representative of the 6--8 and 10--11 year age groups in the Brewarrina and Walgett areas of western New South Wales (fluoride in water less than or equal to 0.02-0.26 parts/10(6)). Despite similar dietary carbohydrate challenge and tooth eruption patterns, Aboriginal children, most of whom were members of a transitional community within a low socioeconomic stratum, had higher prevalence of caries (DIMFT) and severity rating of carious lesions (SR), poorer oral hygiene (OHI) and more gingivitis (PI) than Caucasian children, in both age groups. Tooth defects were more frequent (2.5 times) and severe in Aborigines than in Caucasians. Outstanding treatment needs were very high in both ethnic groups, but more so in Aborigines.
对新南威尔士州西部布鲁瓦里纳和瓦尔格特地区6 - 8岁及10 - 11岁年龄组具有代表性的211名学童（128名原住民和83名高加索人）进行了口腔健康参数检查（水中氟含量小于或等于0.02 - 0.26 ppm）。尽管饮食中的碳水化合物摄入量和牙齿萌出模式相似，但两个年龄组的原住民儿童（其中大多数是低社会经济阶层过渡社区的成员）比高加索儿童的龋齿患病率（乳牙龋均）和龋损严重程度评分（SR）更高，口腔卫生状况（OHI）更差，牙龈炎（PI）更严重。原住民的牙齿缺陷比高加索人更频繁（2.5倍）且更严重。两个种族的显著治疗需求都很高，但原住民的需求更高。
