驻高原与驻平原空军官兵口腔健康现状调查

Oral Health Status of Air Force Personnel on Plateau and on Plain

目的调查对比驻高原与驻平原空军官兵口腔健康状况,为驻高原空军官兵口腔疾病防治提供参考依据。方法对驻高原(平均海拔3900m)空军某部官兵990人(高原组)和驻平原(平均海拔500m)空军某部官兵910人(平原组)进行口腔健康调查。调查内容包括龋病、牙结石、牙龈炎和牙周炎发病情况。结果高原组官兵较平原组官兵口腔疾病发生率高,且驻高原时间越长,口腔患病率越高;高原组患龋病率、牙结石检出率、牙龈炎和牙周炎患病率均高于平原组(Ρ<0.05)。结论驻高原空军官兵口腔疾病患病率较平原官兵高,加强对高原官兵口腔卫生宣传教育,改善高原医疗卫生条件和环境对降低高原官兵口腔疾病发生,提高部队战斗力具有重要意义。

Results The occurrence of oral diseases in personnel in plateau group was higher than that in personnel in plain group and it increased with the time going of station on plateau; the occurrence of dental caries, dental calculus, gingivitis and periodontitis in plateau group was higher than that in plain group（P〈0.05）. Conclusions The occurrence of oral diseases in air force personnel on plateau is higher than that in air force personnel on plain; it is important to strengthen the education of oral health in the personnel on plateau and to improve their medical and health facilities so as to decrease the disease occurrence and to promote the battle effectiveness.
