摘要

背景和目的:牙蚀是指牙釉质和牙本质暴露于外源性和内源性非细菌酸性物质中,导致牙齿表面矿物质流失的一种病症。据描述,电池制造业工人职业暴露于硫酸烟雾与牙蚀症有关。因此,本研究旨在评估海德拉巴 HBL 电力系统有限公司电池厂工人的牙齿腐蚀情况:样本包括 90 名电池厂工人(62 名男性和 28 名女性)。记录了有关年龄、性别和接触时间的人口统计学数据。临床检查采用史密斯和奈特给出的牙齿磨损指数来评估牙齿腐蚀情况。数据采用费舍尔精确检验进行统计分析。P 结果:在接受检查的 90 名工人中,43.3% 患有牙蚀,其中女性的发生率(54%)高于男性(38.7%)。66.6%的患者糜烂程度为 1 级,33.4%的患者糜烂程度为 2 级和 3 级。我们还观察到,从统计学角度看,工作时间较长(超过 11 年)的工人的牙蚀发生率最高,严重程度也更高:本研究显示,电池厂工人的牙蚀患病率有所上升。结论:本研究表明,电池厂工人的牙蚀症发病率有所上升,因此,在工作环境中采取有效的监测和监控保护措施非常重要。

Dental Erosion-An Occupational Hazard among Battery Manufacturing Industry Workers in Hyderabad, India.

Background and objective: Dental erosion is a condition that results from exposure of the enamel and dentin to non-bacterial acids of extrinsic and intrinsic origin, causing mineral loss on the surface of the tooth. Occupational exposure to sulfuric acid fumes has been described in association with dental erosion in battery manufacturing industry workers. Hence, this study aimed to assess the dental erosion among battery factory workers in HBL Power Systems Ltd, Hyderabad.

Materials and methods: The sample consisted of 90 battery factory workers (62 males and 28 females). Demographic data with regard to age, gender, and length of exposure were recorded. Clinical examination was done to assess dental erosion using the tooth wear index given by Smith and Knight. Data were statistically analyzed by using Fisher exact test. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: Among 90 workers examined, 43.3% showed prevalence of erosion with higher occurrence rate in females (54%) than males (38.7%). 66.6% of affected workers had erosion score of 1, and 33.4% showed erosion score of 2 and 3. We also observed statistically significant highest prevalence and increased severity of dental erosion in workers with prolonged duration of employment (>11 years).

Conclusion: The present study revealed increased prevalence of dental erosion among battery factory workers. Hence, it highlights the importance of protective measures with efficient surveillance and monitoring in the workplace environment.
