ObjectiveTo evaluate the caries prevention effect of different fluoride application frequencies in 3-year-old children with active caries.MethodsA total of 337 3-year-old children with dental caries from 12 kindergartens in Changning District of Shanghai were divided into three groups: group 1 received fluoride application once every three months, group 2 received fluoride application once every six months, and the control group received no fluoride application. At baseline, parents completed a questionnaire survey, and oral examinations were conducted at baseline, 7 months, and 16 months after the fluoride intervention to assess the incidence of new dental caries, new dmft, and new dmfs of children. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the relationship between fluoride application and new dental caries, with new dental caries as the dependent variable and local fluoride application, child's gender, age in months, parents' highest education level, frequency of sugary intake (desserts, candies, sweet beverages), age of toothbrushing initiation, frequency of daily toothbrushing, use of fluoride toothpaste, parental assistance in child’s toothbrushing, and daily use of dental floss as the independent variables.ResultsThere were no significant differences in baseline general conditions and oral health behaviors among group 1 (121 cases), group 2 (123 cases) and the control group (93 cases) (all P>0.05). After 16 months' intervention, three children were lost to follow-up due to transferring schools. The new caries rates of group 1 (120 cases), group 2 (121 cases) and the control group (93 cases) were 5.83%, 24.79% and 52.69%, respectively. The incidence of new caries was significantly lower in group 1 compared to group 2 and the control group (P |
