Abstract
Objective To construct a continuous diagnosis and treatment mode for children with dental caries, so as to improve the prevention and treatment effect of dental caries in children. Methods The continuous treatment group was set up to screen 262 cases of eligible patients and record the decyed, missing, filled teeth. All the patients were randomly divided into experimental group and control group by stage sampling method. The patients in both groups were given routine treatment, and the experimental group also received continuous treatment. The patients of both groups were investigated with children's dental caries prevention knowledge questionnaire and plaque test 3 months after the first visit, and 12 months after the first visit, the patients were checked for new caries and new caries incidence. Results Parents dental caries of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-9.816, P<0.001) . In the plaque test, the debris index (DI) of the observation group was better than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-7.594, P<0.001) . The number of new caries of the experimental group was (1.33±1.16) , which was lower than that of the control group (4.02±1.87) , and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-10.763, P<0.001) . There were 87 cases of new caries (67.97%) in the experimental group and 118 cases (91.47%) in the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2=21.992, P<0.001) . Conclusions The continuous diagnosis and treatment mode of dental caries in children has been successfully constructed. The diagnosis and treatment mode has been transformed from a simple hospital-based treatment to a hospital-based treatment combined with active prevention at home, which effectively reduces the risk of caries in children and adapts to the development needs in the new situation.
