Cleft Palate Craniofac J. 1998 Sep;35(5):430-5. doi: 10.1597/1545-1569_1998_035_0430_sodewc_2.3.co_2.
This study was designed to study the experience of dentists with children with palatal clefts seeking treatment in Santiago, Chile.
A 13-item questionnaire was sent to 203 pediatric and general dentists treating children. Of the 141 dentists who voluntarily completed the questionnaire, 118 were selected for this study. These professionals worked in private and public health centers in the Santiago, Chile, metropolitan area.
The results showed that a majority of dentists had treated a low number (1 to 3) of cleft palate children in the previous years, using a combination of preventive-curative and radical treatments. Although a majority reported that there were no differences in the treatment of the cleft and noncleft children, a majority had problems during the course of treatment. The results suggest the need for more current information about the care of cleft children.
本研究旨在调查智利圣地亚哥治疗腭裂患儿的牙医的经验。
向203名治疗儿童的儿科牙医和普通牙医发放了一份包含13个条目的问卷。在自愿完成问卷的141名牙医中，有118名被选入本研究。这些专业人员在智利圣地亚哥大都市区的私立和公立卫生中心工作。
结果显示，大多数牙医在前几年治疗的腭裂患儿数量较少（1至3名），采用了预防 - 治疗和根治性治疗相结合的方法。虽然大多数人报告说腭裂患儿和非腭裂患儿在治疗上没有差异，但大多数人在治疗过程中遇到了问题。结果表明需要更多关于腭裂患儿护理的最新信息。
