Analysis of the preventive effect of fluoride application combined with oral health education on dental caries in preschool children

目的探讨应用氟化物联合口腔健康宣教对学龄前儿童龋齿预防的效果。方法选取运城市第四实验幼儿园2021年入园的240名学龄前儿童为研究对象,采用随机数表法分成对照组、应用氟化物组、应用氟化物联合口腔健康宣教组,每组各80名。于2021年12月至2024年2月开展对照研究,比较三组学龄前儿童的牙齿健康状况、龋齿发生率、口腔健康知识的掌握情况。结果应用氟化物联合口腔健康宣教组学龄前儿童的龋齿发生率显著低于其他两组,口腔健康知识的掌握程度评分亦明显高于其他两组,差异均有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论应用氟化物联合口腔健康宣教能显著降低学龄前儿童龋齿发生率,提高家长和儿童对口腔健康知识的掌握水平,有效提高其口腔防护意识。
