This study reports on the most recent epidemiological survey undertaken in New Caledonia, a French dependency in the South Pacific. Three hundred and twenty-five 12-year-old children were selected from schools using the World Health Organization pathfinder sampling methodology. The results showed a DMFT of 4.09. This places New Caledonia in the 'moderate' category on the World Health Organization scale of caries severity for 12-year-old children. Two oral health risk groups were identified: Melanesian and Wallisian children. Different approaches to promoting oral health in New Caledonia, taking into account local socio-cultural traditions, are proposed.
本研究报告了在新喀里多尼亚进行的最新流行病学调查情况，新喀里多尼亚是南太平洋的一个法属属地。采用世界卫生组织的探索性抽样方法从学校选取了325名12岁儿童。结果显示恒牙龋失补牙数（DMFT）为4.09。这使新喀里多尼亚在世界卫生组织12岁儿童龋齿严重程度量表中处于“中度”类别。确定了两个口腔健康风险群体：美拉尼西亚儿童和瓦利斯儿童。考虑到当地社会文化传统，提出了在新喀里多尼亚促进口腔健康的不同方法。
