This study was performed to determine the prevalence of dental disease in British school children with asthma.
A convenience sample of 100 asthmatic children (aged 4-16 years) was examined for dental caries, periodontal condition, and tooth surface loss. School children, equated for age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status were chosen for comparison. Children were divided into two age ranges; 4-10 and 11-16 years. A significant difference was found in DMFT (0.96 vs. 0.31) and DMFS (1.37 vs. 0.37) between the 4-10-year-old asthmatic children compared with healthy control children.
In the 11-16-year age range, the asthmatic children had a DMFT and DMFS of 2.48 and 3.39 compared with the control children who had a DMFT and DMFS of 1.11 and 1.97 respectively. Asthmatic children had significantly more plaque, gingivitis, and calculus compared with the control group. There was a significant difference in the severity and number of teeth affected by tooth surface loss affecting labial surfaces of the anterior teeth and occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth of asthmatic children.
It was concluded that asthmatic children have more decay affecting their permanent teeth, poorer periodontal status, and more tooth surface loss than healthy controls.
本研究旨在确定英国哮喘学龄儿童的牙齿疾病患病率。
对100名哮喘儿童（4 - 16岁）的便利样本进行龋齿、牙周状况和牙齿表面损耗检查。选择年龄、性别、种族和社会经济地位相当的学龄儿童作为对照。儿童分为两个年龄组：4 - 10岁和11 - 16岁。与健康对照儿童相比，4 - 10岁哮喘儿童的恒牙龋均（DMFT）（0.96对0.31）和恒牙龋面均（DMFS）（1.37对0.37）存在显著差异。
在11 - 16岁年龄组中，哮喘儿童的DMFT和DMFS分别为2.48和3.39，而对照儿童的DMFT和DMFS分别为1.11和1.97。与对照组相比，哮喘儿童的牙菌斑、牙龈炎和牙结石明显更多。哮喘儿童前牙唇面和后牙咬合面受牙齿表面损耗影响的牙齿严重程度和数量存在显著差异。
得出的结论是，与健康对照相比，哮喘儿童恒牙龋坏更多，牙周状况更差，牙齿表面损耗更多。
