Caries and paradontal diseases occupy an important position among the various diseases of the organism. The spread of these pathologies entails consequences of an aesthetic, functional and economic nature. The aim of this study was to evaluate the oral health conditions of an age-matched and sex-matched sample population with a uniform socioeconomic background all of whom played sports.
The age groups taken into consideration are those specified by the WHO: 8-9 years old and 12-13 years old. A total of 684 children were examined within the framework of medical checkups for fitness to play sports. The epidemiological indices specified by the WHO were used to assess oral health conditions: dmf-t; DMF-T; plaque index (PLI) and paradontal index of need for paradontal treatment in community (CPITN).
By comparing the results of this study with the targets set by the WHO for the year 2000 and with those of other studies it was seen that higher values were recorded.
This discrepancy may probably be correlated to the marked consumption of super-calorific substances during the day by children playing sports.
龋齿和牙周疾病在机体的各类疾病中占据重要地位。这些病变的扩散会带来美学、功能和经济方面的后果。本研究的目的是评估具有统一社会经济背景且均从事体育运动的年龄和性别匹配的样本人群的口腔健康状况。
考虑的年龄组是世界卫生组织规定的：8 - 9岁和12 - 13岁。在体育活动健康体检框架内共检查了684名儿童。使用世界卫生组织规定的流行病学指标评估口腔健康状况：乳牙龋失补牙面数（dmf-t）；恒牙龋失补牙面数（DMF-T）；菌斑指数（PLI）和社区牙周治疗需要指数（CPITN）。
通过将本研究结果与世界卫生组织为2000年设定的目标以及其他研究结果进行比较，发现记录到的值更高。
这种差异可能与从事体育运动的儿童白天大量食用高热量物质有关。
