尽管近年来国际上对根面龋齿流行病学的兴趣日益浓厚，但对于记录病情时使用的诊断标准尚未达成一致。本文回顾了牙科流行病学家使用的不同方法。结果表明，不同人群中记录的根面龋齿水平存在巨大差异，这可能是由于诊断方法的差异以及患病率的固有差异造成的。建议尝试就根面龋齿的诊断方法达成全球共识。此外，建议在根面龋齿流行病学研究报告中包含一组基本表格，其中包括牙齿缺失的详细信息。
Despite the increasing international interest in recent years in the epidemiology of root surface caries, there is no agreement on the diagnostic criteria to be used when the condition is recorded. In this paper the different methods used by dental epidemiologists are reviewed. It is shown that the wide variation in the levels of root surface caries recorded among different populations could be due to differences in the diagnostic methods as well as to inherent differences in the prevalence of the condition. It is recommended that an attempt be made to reach a global consensus on the methods of diagnosing root surface caries. Also, it is suggested that in reports of epidemiological studies of root surface caries, a basic set of tables including details of tooth loss be included.
