目标
这项研究试图确定牙齿健康和牙齿健康习惯从3岁到5岁是如何变化的，并考虑预防性牙齿保健是否有助于预防或阻止儿童的龋齿。
方法
这项研究包括67家妇产保健诊所、72家健康婴儿诊所和69家牙科保健诊所。在1,292名新生儿中，有1,003名(90.8%)参与了这项研究。
结果
在那些在3岁时有釉质龋齿的儿童中，只有13.2%的人没有龋齿，预防性牙齿保健有助于阻止龋齿的发生。在那些在3岁时患有牙本质龋齿的儿童中，22.6%的人的DMFT指数没有增加。对于所有其他人来说，疾病变得更加严重。在研究的两年中，3岁儿童的刷牙习惯非常一致。当他们的母亲受过九年的基础教育，当他们的母亲在3岁时就已经有牙菌斑和龋齿，当他们在两年的研究期间吃糖果的频率增加最多时，孩子们就有患龋齿的风险。
结论
在3岁儿童中，菌斑是龋病风险的指标，因此应成为健康教育的关键要素。那些在3岁时已经有龋齿证据的儿童应该成为预防性牙科服务的目标，因为他们的风险增加。
OBJECTIVES
This study sought to determine how dental health and dental health habits change from 3 to 5 years of age and to consider whether preventive dental health care helped in preventing or halting caries in children.
METHODS
The study included 67 maternity health care clinics, 72 well-baby clinics, and 69 dental health care clinics. Of the 1,292 newborn children, 1,003 (90.8%) were included in this study.
RESULTS
Preventive dental health care contributed to dental caries being halted in only 13.2 percent of those children who had enamel caries at 3 years of age. The dmft index did not increase in 22.6 percent of those children who had dentinal caries at 3 years of age. For all others, the disease became more severe. Toothbrushing habits of 3-year-old children were very consistent over the two years studied. Children were at a risk for caries when their mothers had nine years of basic education, when they already had plaque and caries at 3 years of age, and when the frequency of eating sweets increased the most during the two-year study period.
CONCLUSIONS
Among 3-year-old children, plaque is an indicator of caries risk and therefore should be a key element in health education. Those children who already have evidence of caries at 3 years of age should be the target of preventive dental services because of their increased risk.
