本研究的目的是描述一组荷兰20-40岁的吸毒成瘾者（n=121）的牙齿健康状况，并比较DMFS的结果与数据的年龄相当的样本一般成年人在荷兰（n=1532）。成瘾组的平均DMFT为16.9。方差分析表明，平均DMFS的成瘾组的差异有统计学意义的DMFS的一般人口的相同年龄（=52.1与38.9）。不同年龄组之间的DMFS也存在统计学显著差异。在三个最年轻的年龄组中，有一颗或多颗牙齿上有牙菌斑的成瘾者比例分别为76.5%、82.4%和88.2%。在几乎所有成瘾的受试者，牙龈出血。只有36%的人不到一年前去看过牙医，18%的人每天刷牙不到一次。结论：吸毒者的口腔健康状况和行为与普通人群存在较大差距。提倡将牙科护理作为吸毒者护理的一个组成部分。
The aim of this study was to describe the dental health status of a group of Dutch 20-40-yr-old drug addicts (n=121) and to compare the results on DMFS with data of an age-comparable sample of the general adult population in the Netherlands (n=1532). Mean DMFT of the addicted group was 16.9. ANOVA showed that the mean DMFS of the addicted group differed statistically significantly from the DMFS of the general population of the same age (=52.1 versus 38.9). Statistically significant differences in DMFS were also found between the various age groups. The percentage of addicted subjects with more than cervical plaque on one or more teeth was 76.5%, 82.4% and 88.2% in the three youngest age groups. In almost all addicted subjects, bleeding of the gingiva was present. Only 36% had visited the dentist less than a year ago and 18% brushed their teeth less than once a day. It is concluded that there is a large gap in dental health status and behavior between drug addicts and the general population. Dental care as an integral part of the care for drug addicts is advocated.
