ABSTRACT
Dental caries are common diseases in children and often affect their growth and development. In order to understand the dental caries status of preschool children in Qingdao, a total of 1 690 children aged 3-6 years were screened from 13 kindergartens in two districts of Qingdao. The oral health examination was conducted according to the WHO standard, including the decayed-missing-filled index and pigmentation status. The prevalence of caries, the mean decayed, missing and filled tooth (dmft) and the mean dmfs were calculated. The results showed that the prevalence of deciduous teeth caries of children was 65.3% (n=1 103) with the mean dmft and dmfs about 3.2 and 5.4. There was a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of deciduous teeth caries among different age groups (P<0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the prevalence of deciduous teeth caries with and without pigmentation (P<0.001). The prevalence of caries in preschool children in Qingdao is high and more attention should be paid to their dental caries.
