Analysis of Disease Characteristics and Influencing Factors of Elderly Patients with Root caries
Objective To explore the disease characteristics and influencing factors of elderly patients with root caries.Methods Selected as 382 patients≥60 years old who were treated in the dental clinic of the author's hospital from January 2020 to May 2022.According to the ICDAS-Ⅱ diagnostic criteria for root caries evaluated the prevalence of root caries in the elderly patients,and collected the root caries,disease characteristics,clinical data.And the patients were divided into the occurrence group and the non-incidence group according to whether the root caries occurred or not,discussed the risk factors for the occurrence of root caries in the elderly were.Results The prevalence of root caries among study population was 67.71%(251/382),the root caries rate of mandibular first premolar is the highest in 215 cases of root caries,followed by maxillary first molar,maxillary second premolar,and the least maxillary incisor.Among them,root caries of maxillary dentition is most common in the distal surface,and root caries of mandibular dentition is more common in the labial and buccal surfaces.The mean number of teeth with gingival recession 24.25±7.09,decayed root surfaces 1.12±0.25,filled root surfaces 2.88±0.47,mean number of teeth missing 6.42±2.10.The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that The multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the elderly(OR=1.333),gender male(OR=1.997),and the number of retained teeth(OR=2.557)were the risk factors for the prevalence of root caries in the elderly(P＜0.05),high brushing frequency(OR=0.069)is the protective factor of root caries in the elderly(P＜0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of root caries in the elderly is at a high level,and mandibular first premolars are the most common.Among them,elderly,gender,male,and the number of retained teeth are the risk factors for the prevalence of root caries,and high tooth brushing frequency is the protective factors against root caries.
