Prevalence and intensity of caries in children
Abstract
Target. To characterize the dental status of children of younger, middle and adolescence.
Material and research methods. An assessment was made of the prevalence of caries and its intensity among 90 children of various age groups, the younger group 6 years old 20 children, the middle age group 12 years old 45 children, and adolescents 15 years old 25 children. Evaluated (KPU index), calculated the average values of indicators (%, M), standard error (± m).
Results of the study and their discussion. In middle-aged children, the “K” component begins to register in the structure of the KPU index, this dynamics is characterized by the fact that with age a pronounced upward trend is revealed, for example, in adolescents 4.04 ± 2.08, which is more than 2 times compared to with middle age children. An identical picture is also recorded with another component of the “P” index (filling) so if in 6-year-old children from was only 0.1 ± 0.02, then with age, this indicator also had a pronounced upward trend and amounted to 2.15 ± 0.15. Consequently, among adolescents, the “P” component prevails and it is equal to 2.15 ± 0.15, while the “K” component is 1.57 ± 0.13, which is 1.3 times less.
Conclusions. An age dependence of the prevalence and intensity of caries has been established. In middle-aged children, the “K” component begins to register in the structure of the KPU index, which has a pronounced upward trend with age. Based on the results of the study, we found that among mothers and children, there is an insufficiently high level of dental education to prevent dental caries and other dental diseases. According to the results of the survey, it was found that about 3/3 (84.6%) of the respondents prefer soft foods. Particular attention in carrying out explanatory work to prevent the development of caries requires a radical review of the existing methodology for organizing and conducting work, especially among children.
