喂养方式对乳牙龋病的影响

The effects of feeding methods on deciduous caries

目的:探讨喂养方式与乳牙龋齿之间的关系。方法:调查260例具有完整乳牙列儿童的喂养方式、患龋率、dmft情况,并对喂养方式与乳牙患龋率进行卡方检验,喂养方式与乳牙患者龋均进行方差分析。结果:母乳喂养者,乳牙患龋率、龋均发病率均最低,与混合喂养者、人工喂养者相比,有显著性差异;混合喂养者与人工喂养者之间无显著性差异。结论:正确的母乳喂养对预防乳牙龋齿的发生有重要意义。

PURPOSE: The goal of this study was to explore the relationship between feeding methods and deciduous caries. METHODS: An investigation on children's feeding methods, caries prevalence and dmft was made, using 260 cases which were provided with whole primary teeth. Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis on feeding methods and caries prevalence, and variance analysis was used on feeding methods and dmft. RESULTS: The results showed that the deciduous caries rate, mean dmft in breast feeding(BF) group were lower than those in mixed feeding(MF) group and artificial feeding(AF) group, there were significant differences between BF group and MF group,also between BF group and AF group. But there were no significant differences between MF group and AF group. CONCLUSION: It is concluded that proper breast feeding seems to be important for preventing deciduous caries.
