Abstract

Introduction: Finnish conscripts have proven to be an excellent study group for epidemiological research in oral health in recent decades. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine the geographical distribution of dental caries prevalence in young healthy males in Finland at the beginning of the 2020s. Associated dental caries risk factors were of interest as well.

Methods: The data were randomly collected from the eight biggest garrisons in Finland in July of 2021 by ten calibrated dentists. The study population consisted of 2077 male conscripts born between 2000 and 2002. Dental caries was recorded according to the ICDAS system. Wisdom teeth were excluded. Mean DMFT and mean DT values were calculated, and geomaps were constructed to visualize the geographical distribution. Generalized linear mixed models with logit link were conducted for the associated risk factors.

Results: The mean DMFT value of all conscripts was 3.29 (SD 3.91), while the mean DT value was 1.19 (SD 2.33). Living in areas with endemic fluoride levels in drinking water ≥0.3 mg/L decreased the odds for restorative treatment need.

Conclusion: While geographical distribution of dental caries prevalence has remained nearly the same as before, the overall restorative treatment need and treatment history have decreased countrywide.

2021年芬兰年轻男性龋齿患病率的地理分布及相关因素：一项横断面研究

近几十年来，芬兰应征入伍者已被证明是口腔健康流行病学研究的优秀研究群体。本横断面研究的目的是确定21世纪20年代初芬兰年轻健康男性龋齿患病率的地理分布。相关的龋齿风险因素也引起了人们的兴趣。方法于2021年7月，由10名校准的牙医随机收集芬兰8个最大的驻军的数据。研究人群包括2000年至2002年间出生的2077名男性应征入伍者。根据ICDAS系统记录龋病。智齿被排除在外。计算平均DMFT值和平均DT值，并构建地形图以显示地理分布。对相关危险因素建立了logit链接的广义线性混合模型。结果所有应征士兵DMFT平均值为3.29 (SD 3.91)， DT平均值为1.19 （SD 2.33）。生活在饮用水中地方性氟化物含量≥0.3 mg/l的地区，需要恢复性治疗的几率降低。结论龋病发病率的地理分布基本保持不变，但总体的修复治疗需求和治疗史呈下降趋势。

期刊介绍： ''Caries Research'' publishes epidemiological, clinical and laboratory studies in dental caries, erosion and related dental diseases. Some studies build on the considerable advances already made in caries prevention, e.g. through fluoride application. Some aim to improve understanding of the increasingly important problem of dental erosion and the associated tooth wear process. Others monitor the changing pattern of caries in different populations, explore improved methods of diagnosis or evaluate methods of prevention or treatment. The broad coverage of current research has given the journal an international reputation as an indispensable source for both basic scientists and clinicians engaged in understanding, investigating and preventing dental disease.
