Factors influencing the caries decline in Lithuanian adolescents – trends in the period 1993–2001

Abstract: The study aimed to relate a number of factors to the numbers of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) in 12- and 15-yr-olds examined and interviewed in 1993 and 2001. A total of 1250 children in 1993 and 935 in 2001 were clinically examined and completed a detailed questionnaire on dental health-related topics. Factors were related to the DMFT count applying multiple regression analysis. From 1993 to 2001, the mean DMFT decreased approximately 30% in both age cohorts. Despite an observed improvement in dent… Show more

“…Lietuvoje atlikti epidemiologiniai tyrimai parodė, kad 12 metų vaikų dantų ėduonies intensyvumas, išreiškiamas KPI (ėduonies pažeistų, plombuotų ir išrautų dantų skaičius, tenkantis vienam individui) indeksu, svyruoja nuo 1,9±2,1 iki 4,5±3,8 (2). Ėduonis dažniausiai pažeidžia dantų paviršiuje esančias vageles ir duobeles.…”

Nors programa šio amžiaus moksleiviams pradėta vėliausiai, 43,3 proc.…”
