Abstract

Introduction: This cross-sectional study aims to investigate the association between three age-specific questionnaires in three age groups and restorative dental treatment need. Materials and methods: Three separate questionnaires were designed on etiology of dental caries in different age groups. Randomly selected 15- (n = 36), 21- (n = 21), and 40-year-old (n = 45) subjects answered these questionnaires. Responses were compared to restorative treatment need (DT) according to the clinical oral examination, which calibrated examiner performed. Results: Responses to questionnaires were only indicative in prediction of restorative treatment need at individual level. Kappa values for 15-, 21-, and 40-year olds, between responses and restorative treatment need were 0.01, 0.44, and 0.33, respectively. Conclusion: The need for restorative care could plausible be screened with a questionnaire among the 21- and 40-year olds, but not among 15-year olds in a country with low caries prevalence. Further development of questionnaires and studies are needed.

15岁、21岁和40岁人群恢复性治疗需求筛查问卷的验证

引言：这项横断面研究旨在调查三个年龄组的三份特定年龄问卷与修复性牙科治疗需求之间的关系。材料和方法：设计了三份关于不同年龄组龋齿病因的独立问卷。随机选择15-（n = 36），21-（n = 21）和40岁（n = 45）受试者回答了这些问卷。根据校准检查人员进行的临床口腔检查，将反应与恢复性治疗需求（DT）进行比较。结果：对问卷的回答仅能在个人层面预测恢复性治疗需求。15岁、21岁和40岁的Kappa值，介于反应和恢复性治疗需求之间，分别为0.01、0.44和0.33。结论：在一个龋齿患病率较低的国家，通过问卷调查可以在21岁和40岁的人群中筛选出对恢复性护理的需求，但在15岁人群中则不然。需要进一步编制调查问卷和进行研究。
