Risk factors and prevention strategies of secondary caries in children
Objective This study aimed to explore the risk factors and prevention strategies of secondary caries in chil-dren.Methods A total of 120 children with dental caries who were re-examined 1 year after treatment in the First Affilia-ted Hospital of Zhengzhou University were divided into the secondary group(n=25)and non-secondary group(n=95).The general data,initial diagnosis data,and oral behavior data of the two groups were collected and compared.The risk factors of secondary caries in children with dental caries were analyzed by using logistic regression.Results Significant differences in age,parental education level,family income,filling materials,brushing frequency,parental help to brush teeth,mouthwash after meals,sweets intake times,regular oral review,and use of fluoride toothpaste were found between the secondary caries group and non-secondary caries group(P<0.05).Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the educational level of parents,parental help to brush teeth,mouthwash after meals,brushing frequency,sweets in-take times,use of fluoride toothpaste,and filling materials were independent risk factors for secondary caries in children(P<0.05).Conclusion Secondary caries in children have many risk factors.Thus,reducing secondary caries in children is important to strengthen oral health education and develop good oral health habits.
