摘要
Agrawal 和 Shah 修改后的 CAST（龋齿评估谱和治疗）是专为印度人群准备的新指数，用于全面评估分级描述的龋齿谱/范围：使用 Agrawal 和 Shah 改良 CAST 指数评估印度成年人群的龋齿患病率和治疗需求：对 2000 名年龄在 19-70 岁之间的成年患者进行了横断面研究。所有成年患者均根据结构化表格中的 Agrawal 和 Shah 改良 CAST 编码进行龋齿评分。使用 SPSS 20 版对数据进行分析：使用 Agrawal 和 Shah 改良 CAST 指数计算出的龋齿患病率为 85.6%。5.2%（104 名）的成年人牙齿完好，4.1%（82 名）的成年人有修复体，2.1%（42 名）的成年人有非龋坏，13.7%（274 名）的成年人牙釉质有龋坏，19%（380 名）的成年人牙本质有龋坏，27.7%（554 名）的成年人牙髓受累。10.3%（206 人）的成人牙根表面和牙颈部出现龋齿。13.6%（272 人）的成年人因龋齿失去了至少一颗牙齿，3%（60 人）的成年人因龋齿以外的其他原因失去了牙齿。1.3%（26 人）的成人患者没有任何与龋齿相关的诊断，但却存在易患龋齿的条件：事实证明，Agrawal 和 Shah 修改后的 CAST 指数在评估印度人口的龋齿患病率和治疗需求方面是简单、有用和合适的。
Agrawal and Shah Modified Cast Index - A Novel Index Assessing Prevalence of Dental Caries and Treatment Needs of the Adult Indian Population.
Background: Agrawal and Shah modified CAST (Caries Assessment Spectrum and Treatment) is the novel index prepared specifically for the Indian population for the complete evaluation of the spectrum/range of dental caries described hierarchically.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of dental caries and treatment needs in an adult Indian population using Agrawal and Shah modified CAST index.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional transverse study was performed on 2000 adult patients in the age range of 19-70 years. All the adult patients were scored for caries presence by Agrawal and Shah modified CAST codes on a structured proforma. SPSS version 20 was used to analyze the data.
Results: The prevalence of dental caries calculated using Agrawal and Shah modified CAST index was 85.6%. 5.2% (104) adults had sound dentition, 4.1% (82) adults had restorations, 2.1% (42) adults had non-cavitated lesions, 13.7% (274) adults had the presence of caries in the enamel, 19% (380) adults had the presence of caries in dentine, and pulpal involvement was observed in 27.7% (554) adults. 10.3% (206) adults had presented with a root surface and cervical caries. 13.6% (272) adults had lost at least one tooth due to caries, and 3% (60) adults had lost teeth due to any other reason except dental caries. 1.3% (26) adult patients do not show any caries-related diagnosis but were having predisposing conditions.
Conclusion: Agrawal and Shah modified CAST index proved to be simple, useful, and appropriate in assessing dental caries prevalence in the Indian population along with the treatment needs of the Indian population.
