摘要

本研究之目的，瞭解北部地區0-6歲兒童齲齒狀況。資料收集採分層多段隨機集采抽樣調查設計，針對北部地區幼稚園、托兒所幼童進行抽樣，共抽樣1344人，實際完成檢查人教1213人(90.25%)。研究結果顯示北部地區平均乳牙齲齒經驗指教(deft index)為3.67顆，乳牙齲齒盛行率為61.48%，乳牙填補率為25.83%；男生平均乳牙齲齒經驗指數(deft index)為3.68顆，女生為3.67顆，二歲到三歲期間是幼童齲齒增加的關鍵期，乳牙龋齒盛行率亦隨著年齡增加而增加。本研究發現父母親教育程度及社經地位越高其口腔保健知識、態度分數就越高，其子女乳牙龋齒經驗指數、乳牙龋齒盛行率相對的比較低。

In this study, we surveyed the dental health of preschool children in northern Taiwan Study subjects were recruited using a stratified multistage random cluster sampling method. Among the 1344 children recruited, 1213 took part in the survey. The response rate was 90.25%. The results indicate that the mean decayed, extraction, and filled teeth (deft) of preschool children in northern Taiwan was 3.67, the caries prevalence rate of deciduous teeth was 61.48%, and the filling rate was 25.58%. The mean deft values for boys and girls were 3.68 and 3.67, respectively. The age between 2 to 3 years old is a critical period for toddlers due to an increase in the number of decayed teeth. The deft index values increased with age. The study also found that parents with a higher sociodemographic status scored higher on knowledge and attitudes of dental care, and the deft index as well as prevalence rate of their children were both relatively low.
