背景最近的数据表明，随着儿童dmft和DMFT评分的增加，澳大利亚儿童龋齿经历减少的趋势正在放缓。然而，有有限的数据龋齿的经验，在年轻的Australian adults.Methods：973澳大利亚陆军新兵的横断面研究进行了2002年11月和2003年3月之间。结果：17-20岁、21-25岁、26-30岁、31-35岁和36-51岁受试者的DMFT平均得分分别为2.43、3.44、5.48、7.02和10.77。终生暴露于氟化饮用水的受试者的平均DMFT为2.80，而未暴露于氟化饮用水的受试者的平均DMFT为3.91。多变量泊松回归发现，年龄，教育水平和终身接触含氟饮用水有统计学意义上的影响龋齿experience.Conclusions：它似乎有一个持续下降的龋齿经验和患病率在年轻的澳大利亚成年人之间的1996年和2002-2003年。与未暴露于含氟饮用水的受试者相比，本研究中的受试者终身暴露于含氟饮用水可获得明显的益处。
Background. Recent data have suggested that the trend of decreasing caries experience in Australian children is slowing with increasing dmft and DMFT scores seen in children. However, there are limited data on dental caries experience in young Australian adults.Methods: A cross-sectional study of 973 Australian Army recruits was conducted between November 2002 and March 2003. A clinical examination with bitewing radiographs was conducted and a questionnaire was used to elicit socio-demographic information.Results: Mean DMFT scores were 2.43, 3.44, 5.48, 7.02 and 10.77 for subjects aged 17-20, 21-25, 26-30, 31-35 and 36-51 years respectively. Subjects with a lifetime exposure to fluoridated drinking water had a mean DMFT of 2.80 while subjects with no exposure to fluoridated drinking water had a mean DMFT of 3.91. Multivariate Poisson regression found that age, level of education and lifetime exposure to fluoridated drinking water had a statistically significant effect on caries experience.Conclusions: It appears that there has been a continual decline in caries experience and prevalence in young Australian adults between 1996 and 2002-2003. Lifetime exposure to fluoridated drinking water Conferred an appreciable benefit for subjects in this study compared with subjects with no exposure to fluoridated drinking water.
