Abstract:

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of long-term comprehensive prevention and treatment of dental caries in children and its influence on caries-related factors. Methods Children who visited continuously for three consecutive years(2019—2022)according to the requirements of the “Comprehensive Children’s Caries Prevention Program” were selected. Comprehensive caries prevention and treatment measures were carried out, including periodic specialized examinations, personalized health education, fluoride application, pit and fissure sealing, and caries filling. Information on dietary habits, oral hygiene, caries status values, and the number of new caries teeth were recorded. Stata 17 software for linear regression analysis was used to analyze the clinical effect of comprehensive prevention and treatment measures, and the association between caries risk factors and caries incidence during the process. Results A total of 544 children met the criteria and were included in the study. The results showed that comprehensive prevention and treatment was the main determinant of the number of caries teeth before and after intervention(P<0.001). Gender, age and initial caries risk had no statistically significant effect on new caries;oral hygiene, dietary habits, and caries status values had significant effects on caries incidence. Conclusion Long-term comprehensive prevention and treatment of dental caries in children has a definite effect on reducing the incidence of dental caries and optimizing dietary habits is worthy of particular emphasis to enhance preventive outcomes.
