The aim of this study was to describe edentulousness, numbers of remaining teeth, dental caries, caries experience, periodontal pockets, and background factors in a Finnish village. It was particularly aimed at determining the incidence of simultaneous occurrence of untreated caries lesions and periodontal pockets. It was carried out in 1988 in Viekijärvi, a village in North Karelia. Half of the population was invited to participate in the investigation. Seventy-two percent of those invited participated (n = 179). The subjects were examined clinically using standard WHO methods and criteria. The subjects were interviewed to establish socioeconomical factors and health habits. Thirty-five per cent of subjects were edentulous. Numbers of remaining teeth decreased with age, except in the age group 55-59 years. Numbers of teeth and edentulousness were strongly associated with use of dental services but not with health habits. More than half of the dentate population had untreated caries. Of habits affecting health, only smoking was associated with caries. Twenty-nine per cent of the dentate population had shallow pockets and 7% deep pockets. The occurrence of pockets was negatively associated with frequency of handwashing. Only 20% of the dentate population were orally healthy. The age group 55-59 years was healthier than the younger and older groups.
本研究旨在描述芬兰一个村庄的无牙情况、剩余牙齿数量、龋齿、龋病经历、牙周袋以及背景因素。特别旨在确定未经治疗的龋损与牙周袋同时出现的发生率。该研究于1988年在北卡累利阿的一个村庄维埃基耶尔维开展。邀请了一半的人口参与调查。受邀者中有72%参与了调查（n = 179）。使用世界卫生组织的标准方法和标准对受试者进行临床检查。对受试者进行访谈以确定社会经济因素和健康习惯。35%的受试者无牙。除55 - 59岁年龄组外，剩余牙齿数量随年龄增长而减少。牙齿数量和无牙情况与牙科服务的使用密切相关，但与健康习惯无关。超过一半的有牙人群有未经治疗的龋齿。在影响健康的习惯中，只有吸烟与龋齿有关。29%的有牙人群有浅牙周袋，7%有深牙周袋。牙周袋的出现与洗手频率呈负相关。只有20%的有牙人群口腔健康。55 - 59岁年龄组比年轻组和老年组更健康。
