目的与方法
比较儿童睡前进食含糖食物和饮料与患龋情况。受试者是600名2至16岁的儿童，来自英格兰北方两个社区，总体龋齿水平较高，他们作为新患者参加了两次普通牙科治疗。这些儿童主要来自非工作家庭，29%来自少数民族。
结果
一个积极的显着关系之间的消费，无论是食品或饮料含有非牛奶外源性糖（NMES）在睡前一小时和DMFT和DMFT的样品作为一个整体。食用NMES食物的受试者的平均dmft为1.91，DMFT为1.18，而不食用NMES食物的受试者的平均dmft为1.13和0.42。NMES饮料的相应平均得分为1.76和0.94，而NMES饮料的相应平均得分为1.04和0.46。性别、种族和社会经济地位与患龋经历无显著相关。最强的关系是龋齿的经验和消费NMES的食物和饮料睡前，这些孩子有四倍的平均DMFT得分（1.24）的那些谁也不消耗（0.31）。
结论
研究结果支持在睡前一小时引入无糖区的概念。
OBJECTIVE AND METHOD
To compare the bedtime consumption of sugar-sweetened food and drinks by children with their caries experience. The subjects were 600 children aged 2 to 16 years from two communities in northern England with high overall caries levels, who attended two general dental practices as new patients. The children were predominantly from non-working families and 29% were from ethnic minorities.
RESULTS
A positive significant relationship was found between the consumption of either food or drinks containing non-milk extrinsic sugar (NMES) in the hour before bed and both dmft and DMFT in the sample as a whole. The subjects consuming NMES food had a mean dmft of 1.91 and a DMFT of 1.18 compared to 1.13 and 0.42 for subjects who did not. The corresponding mean scores for NMES drinks were 1.76 and 0.94 compared to 1.04 and 0.46. Gender, ethnicity and social-economic status were not significantly related to caries experience. The strongest relationship found was between caries experience and the consumption of both NMES food and drinks before bed, those children having four times the mean DMFT score (1.24) of those who consumed neither (0.31).
CONCLUSION
The findings support the introduction of the concept of a sugar-free zone for the hour before bed.
