This study sought to determine whether the prevalence of dental fluorosis and dental caries had changed in a fluoridated community and a nonfluoridated community since an earlier study conducted in 1986.
Dental fluorosis and dental caries data were collected on 7- to 14-year-old lifelong residents (n = 1493) of Newburgh and Kingston, NY.
Estimated dental fluorosis prevalence rates were 19.6% in Newburgh and 11.7% in Kingston. The greatest disparity in caries scores was observed between poor and nonpoor children in nonfluoridated Kingston.
The prevalence of dental fluorosis has not declined in Newburgh and Kingston, whereas the prevalence of dental caries has continued to decline.
本研究旨在确定自1986年进行的一项早期研究以来,氟化社区和非氟化社区的氟斑牙和龋齿患病率是否发生了变化。
收集了纽约州纽堡和金斯顿7至14岁常住居民(n = 1493)的氟斑牙和龋齿数据。
纽堡的氟斑牙估计患病率为19.6%,金斯顿为11.7%。在非氟化的金斯顿,贫困儿童和非贫困儿童之间的龋齿得分差异最大。
纽堡和金斯顿的氟斑牙患病率没有下降,而龋齿患病率继续下降。
