The present epidemiologic dental caries study indicates a high number of decayed surfaces (mean, 13.5 +/- 11.8 (SD)) in a Portuguese population of 30- to 39-year-olds from Porto. The most influential determinants for variation in carious surfaces were oral hygiene, gender, salivary buffer capacity, and missing teeth. By entering the most influential independent variables in a final multiple classification analysis, the total explained variance in carious surfaces was 27%. A comparison with results from a similar Norwegian dental health study showed that the biologic factors of importance for number of carious surfaces were the same, whereas the sociocultural determinants differed.
目前的龋齿流行病学研究表明，来自波尔图的30至39岁葡萄牙人群中，龋坏面数量较多（平均为13.5±11.8（标准差））。龋面变化的最具影响力的决定因素是口腔卫生、性别、唾液缓冲能力和缺牙情况。通过在最终的多重分类分析中纳入最具影响力的自变量，龋面的总解释方差为27%。与挪威一项类似的牙齿健康研究结果相比，对龋面数量重要的生物学因素相同，而社会文化决定因素不同。
