上幼托園所與未上幼托園所幼兒齲齒狀況與口腔健康行為之探討

以往學齡前幼兒齲齒狀況之研究偏重於上幼托園所幼兒，對於未上幼托園所幼兒口腔健康狀況並未涉及，兩者之差異亦未見研究。因此擬探討上幼托園所與未上幼托園所幼兒齲齒狀況與牙齒健康行為之相關性。本研究以台灣3-5歲幼兒為母群體，進行口腔檢查並針對主要照顧者進行問卷調查，將調查分為上幼托園所與未上幼托園所兩部分。研究資料顯示3,044位幼兒當中，上幼托園所有237,3人(77.96%)，未上幼托園所有671人(22.04%)。無論有無上幼托園所，幼兒齲齒狀況與年齡及有無吃甜食習慣呈正相關，與幼兒開始潔牙年齡及幼兒刷牙次數呈負相關。由父母或主要照顧者協助潔牙者及吃甜食後有刷牙者，其deft index較低。

Many studies have been done on children's dental health status in kindergarten, but much less research has been carried out on children's behaviors at home. In this study, we assessed the dental caries status and dental health behaviors of preschool children in kindergarten and at home. Data were collected by an oral cavity check from 3~5-year-old children in Taiwan, and a questionnaire administered to the main caregivers was designed to investigate the oral hygiene behaviors of these children. There were 3044 children in this study, 2373 children in kindergarten (77.96%), and 671 children at home (22.04%). Children's dental caries status was shown to be positively correlated with the habit of eating sweet foods and age, regardless of whether they went to kindergarten or not. However, children's dental caries status was negatively correlated with the beginning age and frequency of tooth-brushing. Children whose parents or main caregivers helped them clean their teeth and who could brush their teeth after eating sweet foods had relatively lower values of the deft index.
