Construction and Application of Community Dental Health Data Base System

1)从广岛县政府和吴市保健中心获得1983 ~ 1988年有关1岁半和3岁儿童牙齿健康检查的50项牙齿健康信息。2）对广岛县的所有小学和初中发放了两份调查问卷，调查了儿童的牙齿健康措施和牙齿健康状况。在680所小学和253所初中中，答复率分别为59%和58%。目前，我们已建立了学校口腔卫生信息库，包括：（1）口腔卫生教育;（B）口腔卫生指导;（3）学校卫生委员会的活动;（4）以学校为基础的氟化物应用计划的实施;（5）各学年的平均龋牙数。在不久的将来，任何人，即使没有广岛大学的主机系统的终端，也将能够以软盘为媒介获得牙齿健康信息。

1) The dental health information of 50 items concerned with 1.5-year-old and 3-year-old dental health examinations from 1983 to 1988 were obtained from Hiroshima prefectural office and Kure health center. Now the data base files can be searched for the dental health information of the infant by 93 municipalities in Hiroshima prefecture.2) We sent two questionnaires to all the elementary schools and junior high schools in Hiroshima prefecture and investigated the measures for dental health and dental health conditions of school children. The yields of the responses were 59% of 680 elementary schools and 58% of 253 junior high schools. Now the data base files can be searched for the school dental health information, such as ; a) Dental health education, b) Oral hygiene instruction, c) Activity of the school health committee, d) Implementation of school-based fluoride application programs, e) Mean number of carious teeth by school years.3) We are now reconstructing the new system of community dental health data base. In the near future, everyone, even if who doesn't have the terminal of host computer system of Hiroshima University, will be able to obtain the dental health information on floppy disks as media.
