In Taiwan, every 10,000 children aged from 0 to 6 are served by 51.53 dentists giving dental service, but only 43.66 dentists in southern Taiwan. Under the limited manpower and material supplies, we investigated children aged from 0 to 6 in southern Taiwan and we expect to better understand the children''s situation about decayed teeth and relevant influence through mouth inspectio and a questionaaire completed by care givers'' so that we can further propose counter measures to be taken. Purpose: We aimed to explore the children in southern Taiwan about some relevant factors like their diets, tooth cleaning and dentist care. Method: This research is adopted the “Children''s Oral Inspection Survey in Taiwan” project performed by Kaohsiung Medical University Graduate Institute of Oral Health Sciences . Our experimental sample pool focused on children aged from 0 to 6 in southern Taiwan with 1,195 valid samples received. We adopted the stratified multi-stage random cluster sampling Method and the sampling ratio was implemented by means of PPS design with the collected data from oral health inspection and questionnaire about diets, tooth cleaning and dental care history. A database was designed using Microsoft Access and data were analazed using SAS and JMP to implement statistical analysis. Result: From the research results of the children aged from 0 to 6 years old in southern Taiwan, we found that the average number of decayed teeth was roughly 3.54 and the deft index of decayed teeth was rated at 4.40. The percentage of decayed teeth was 68.97% and the percentage of teeth filling rate was 18.35%. There was a total 825 children with ECC(Early Childhood Caries)(68.97%)and 536 children with S-ECC (Severe Early Childhood Caries)(44.81%). It showed a significant variance among villages and towns statistically. The important factors to influence children aged 0 to 6 years old with decayed teeth include residence region, parents'' education degree, beverage drinking habits, the age that of teeth cleaning starts, the intervals of oral inspection and the history of preventive health maintenance service. Conclusion: The most prevalent region for children with decayed teeth in southern Taiwan was Yunlin County and the lowest was the Penhu County. The highest filling rate percentage was Chiayi City and the lowest was Tainan County. The prevalence of city children''s decayed teeth is lower than that of village children, but city children''s filling rate percentage was higher than that of village children. Children aged from 3 to 4 face a critical period to increasingly suffer from decayed teeth. The number of children''s decayed teeth is positively correlated to the number of dental service givers, but the number of children''s decayed teeth is negatively correlated to that of household income. Key Words︰ decayed teeth、deft index、caries prevalence、filling rate 黃純德 2006 學位論文 ; thesis 188 zh-TW
