摘要: Seow WK, Amaratunge A, Bennett R, Bronsch D, Lai PY: Dental health of Aboriginal pre-schools children in Brisbane, Australia. Abstract This investigation studied the dental status a group 184 Australian with mean age 4.4±0.8 years, who were attending metropolitan non-fluoridated stale capital city. The DDE (Developmental Detects Enamel) Index was used to chart enamel hypoplasia and opacities. WHO criteria diagnose caries. results showed that 98% had at least one tooth showing developmental defects. Each child 3.8 ± 1.7 teeth affected by another 1.1 0.8 opacity. Seventy-eight percent number decayed, missing, filled (dmft) per 3.8±3.7. decayed component consituted 3.5 (95%) dmft, indicating high unmet restorative need this group. dmft (decayed, filled, surfaces) 5.9 7.3. Maxillary anterior labial decay al 43(23%) children. In sub-group, dmfs 9.1 2.8 15.4 7.7 respectively. Oral debris found It is hypothesized levels underlying defects, compounded low fluoride exposure, poor oral hygiene diet refined sugars pose an important caries risk factor
