Among themï¼ 426 were male ï¼51.3%ï¼ and 404 were female ï¼48.7%ï¼. Of the 830 childrenï¼ 203 had dental cariesï¼ resulting in a caries prevalence of 24.46%ï¼ a caries supplemental filling ratio of 32.6%ï¼ and a DMFT of 0.63. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that a motherâs education level of college or above ï¼OR=0.849ï¼95% CIï¼ 0.732â0.984ï¼ï¼ brushing teeth twice a day ï¼OR=0.827ï¼95%CIï¼ 0.703â0.973ï¼ï¼ and the caregiver brushing teeth twice a day ï¼OR=0.843ï¼ 95%CIï¼ 0.726â0.983ï¼ were effective factors in reducing the caries rate. Factors associated with childhood dental caries included consuming sweets â¥1 time per day ï¼OR=1.397ï¼95%CIï¼ 1.197â1.342ï¼ and female gender ï¼OR=1.482ï¼95%CIï¼ 1.347â1.671ï¼.ConclusionThe prevalence of dental caries among 12-year-old children in Yangpu District is 24.46%.
