以牙齿为导向的龋病测量方法在描述人群乳牙期的龋病经历方面存在局限性。以儿童为基础的龋齿模式已在以前提出并量化。这项研究的目的是探索两个人群乳牙期龋病模式的比例变化。在开发模型时，建议使用图形表示法。2至5岁的儿童在城市的一家儿科诊所和郊区的一家私人诊所接受检查，被归类为无龋齿或有下列与病变部位相关的病因学导向的龋病经历之一：裂隙、发育不良、面部-舌面、磨牙-近邻面或面部舌面/磨牙-近近面。在2.5岁或以下的儿童中，超过85%的人没有龋齿，或者符合面部-语言类别，这与“哺乳龋齿”的描述一致。在这项研究中探索的趋势将不会明显使用以牙齿为导向的龋齿测量的平均值。
A tooth-oriented caries measure has limitations in depicting the caries experience in the primary dentition for a population. Caries patterns based on the child have been presented previously and quantified. The purpose of this study was to explore proportional changes in caries patterns of the primary dentition in two populations. Graphic representation is suggested in developing a model. Children two to five years of age were examined in a city pediatric dental clinic and in a suburban private practice and were categorized as caries-free or as having one of the following etiology-oriented caries experiences associated with lesion sites: Fissures, Hypoplasia, Facial-Lingual, Molar-Approximal, or Facial Lingual/Molar-Approximal. Over 85 percent of children aged 2.5 years or younger were either caries-free or fit the Facial-Lingual category consistent with descriptions of "nursing caries". Trends explored in this study would not be evident using an average for a tooth-oriented caries measure.
