背景：最近的研究表明，1996-2002-2003年间澳大利亚新兵患龋病的几率大幅下降，1987-1988年至2004-2006年间澳大利亚成年人患龋病的几率大幅下降。然而，对儿童的研究报告表明，在1998至2002年间，患龋率呈上升趋势。本研究的目的是调查2008年澳大利亚陆军新兵患龋病的情况。方法：于2008年1月至5月对1084名澳大利亚新兵进行横断面研究。结果：17~20岁、21~25岁、26~30岁和31~35岁新兵的平均DMFT得分分别为3.16、4.08、5.16和7.11。终生接触含氟饮用水的新兵平均龋病发生率为3.02，未接触氟水的新兵患龋率为3.87。结论：2002~2003年至2008年间，17~25岁新兵患龋病呈上升趋势。在对年龄、性别、教育程度和社会经济地位的影响进行调整后，终生接触含氟饮用水的新兵患龋病的几率比没有接触含氟饮用水的新兵少25%。
Background:Recent studies have shown a substantial decline in caries experience in Australian Army recruits between 1996 and 2002-2003, and in Australian adults between 1987-1988 and 2004-2006. However, studies in children have reported an increasing trend in caries experience between 1998 and 2002. The aim of this study was to investigate caries experience in Australian Army recruits in 2008.Methods:A cross-sectional study involving 1084 Australian Army recruits was conducted from January to May 2008. Data were obtained from a clinical dental examination with bitewing radiographs, and a questionnaire elicited socio-demographic data and history on lifetime exposure to fluoridated drinking water.Results:Mean DMFT scores were 3.16, 4.08, 5.16 and 7.11 for recruits aged 17-20, 21-25, 26-30 and 31-35 years, respectively. Recruits with a lifetime exposure to fluoridated drinking water had a mean DMFT of 3.02, while recruits with no exposure had a mean DMFT of 3.87.Conclusions:Caries experience in Australian Army recruits aged 17-25 years increased between 2002-2003 and 2008. Recruits with lifetime exposure to fluoridated drinking water had 25 per cent less caries experience compared with recruits who had no exposure to fluoridated drinking water after adjusting for the effects of age, gender, education and socio-economic status.
