摘要
目的调查8岁儿童牙科恐惧对口腔健康的影响。方法利用牙科恐惧视觉模拟量表(DF-VAS)调查170名二年级学生牙科恐惧状况,同时检查其龋齿情况和口腔卫生,观察生活质量自我评价与口腔健康、看牙就医经历的关系。结果牙科恐惧评分结果:无恐惧60.6%(DF-VAS 0~3),轻至中度恐惧31.2%(DF-VAS 4~6),重度恐惧8.2%(DF-VAS 7~10)。有牙科就诊经历的学生DF-VAS评分较低;有至少一颗龋齿的学生比牙齿健康学生的DF-VAS高。结论牙科恐惧可能影响儿童生活质量,就医经历可降低牙科恐惧的发生。应加大对小学生校内口腔健康的宣传与关注,推广校内牙科疾病预防措施和口腔健康促进活动。
Objective To evaluate factors affecting dental fear in 8 years old children living at Suzhou.Methods Dental fear was evaluated using a visual analogue scale （DF-VAS） in a group of 8 years old children. Indicators of caries and oral hygiene were evaluated on dental examination. Indicators of well-being related to oral health ,oral health self-assessment, dental experience, and reaction to oral examination were collected via a structured interview.Results Dental fear was scored low in 60.6% （DF-VAS 0-3）, moderate in 31.2% （DF-VAS 4-6）, and high in 8.2% （DF-VAS 7-10）. DF-VAS decreased statistically with experience of a prior dental visit. Children who had at least one decayed tooth presented a higher level of dental fear than those with no decay. Children relaxingly accepted oral examination presented IowerDF-VAS score than nervous children.Conclusions This study shows that for children aged 8 years, prior experience of the dental setting can act as a positive component of dental fear.
