A national survey was undertaken in 1990 to investigate the periodontal treatment needs in 12 and 15 to 19-year-olds residing in urban and rural areas of Antigua. Using the CPITN procedure, examination of 246 12 year-old children and 456 adolescents (15-19 years) revealed that the CPITN scores of healthy, gingival bleeding, calculus, 4 or 5 mm and > or = 6 mm periodontal pockets were distributed similarly in urban and rural areas. Calculus was the most commonly recorded score, with a prevalence of 46% in 12-year-olds and 56% in 15-19 year-olds. 4 or 5 mm pockets were found in 14% of adolescents, affecting on average less than one sextant per subject, but deep pockets were uncommon, 26% of 12-year-olds and 14% of adolescents had periodontally healthy mouths. Scaling and oral hygiene instruction were the predominant treatment needs in both age groups, but the requirement for complex periodontal care in adolescents was low -3% only.
1990年开展了一项全国性调查，以调查安提瓜城乡地区12岁以及15至19岁人群的牙周治疗需求。采用社区牙周指数（CPITN）检查程序，对246名12岁儿童和456名青少年（15 - 19岁）进行检查后发现，健康、牙龈出血、牙石、4或5毫米以及≥6毫米牙周袋的CPITN评分在城乡地区的分布相似。牙石是最常记录的评分，在12岁儿童中的患病率为46%，在15至19岁青少年中为56%。14%的青少年有4或5毫米的牙周袋，平均每个受试者受影响的牙面不到一个象限，但深牙周袋并不常见，26%的12岁儿童和14%的青少年牙周健康。洗牙和口腔卫生指导是两个年龄组的主要治疗需求，但青少年对复杂牙周护理的需求较低，仅为3%。
