Abstract

Objectives: The main objective of a 2012-2013 clinical study on the oral health of Quebec elementary school students was to assess the oral health status of Grade 2 and Grade 6 students. We assessed various stages of caries and created caries indicators for primary and permanent dentitions combined.

Methods: Oral health examination of 2875 Grade 2 students and 2788 Grade 6 students, enrolled in public and private, French- and English-language schools, was carried out at schools. The examinations were performed by 16 trained and calibrated dentists using International Caries Detection and Assessment System (ICDAS) II criteria. A 3-level sampling design ensured that the study was representative for the province of Quebec.

Results: Mean indexes for decayed, missing, filled primary teeth (dmft) and secondary teeth (DMFT) or surfaces (dmfs and DMFS) for all stages of caries were as follows. Grade 2 students: dmft 3.96, DMFT 1.88, dmft + DMFT 5.84, dmfs 8.33, DMFS 2.96 and dmfs + DMFS 11.28. Grade 6 students: dmft 1.94, DMFT 4.98, dmft + DMFT 5.98, dmfs 4.04, DMFS 7.86 and dmfs + DMFS 9.96. Most students (90% for Grade 2 and 92% for Grade 6) had a dmfs + DMFS > 0.

Conclusion: Tooth decay remains a public health problem in Quebec. The findings testify to the importance of reinforcing preventive measures to better control dental caries among youth. It is advantageous to use ICDAS II in the context of oral health surveillance at a population level and to present the results as a combination of primary and permanent dentitions.

魁北克小学生龋病经验:ICDAS II监测研究。

目的:2012-2013年魁北克省小学生口腔健康临床研究的主要目的是评估二年级和六年级学生的口腔健康状况。我们评估了龋齿的各个阶段，并为乳牙和恒牙联合制定了龋齿指标。方法:对公立和私立、法语和英语学校的2875名二年级学生和2788名六年级学生进行口腔健康检查。检查由16名经过培训和校准的牙医使用国际龋齿检测和评估系统II标准进行。三级抽样设计确保了该研究在魁北克省具有代表性。结果:龋病各阶段乳牙(dmft)、副牙(dmft)或龋面(dmfs和dmfs)的龋蚀、缺失、充填的平均指标如下:二年级:dmft 3.96, dmft 1.88, dmft + dmft 5.84, dmfs 8.33, dmfs 2.96, dmfs + dmfs 11.28。六年级:dmft 1.94, dmft 4.98, dmft + dmft 5.98, dmfs 4.04, dmfs 7.86, dmfs + dmfs 9.96大多数学生(90%的二年级学生和92%的六年级学生)的dmfs + dmfs > 0。结论:蛀牙仍然是魁北克的一个公共卫生问题。研究结果证明加强预防措施以更好地控制青少年蛀牙的重要性。在人口水平的口腔健康监测中使用ICDAS II是有利的，并且将结果作为初级和恒牙的组合呈现。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
