儿童牙齿磨耗研究概述

牙齿磨耗是一个多因素、多阶段、复杂渐进的过程。其特征是牙齿硬组织逐渐消失,牙齿磨耗程度可以一定程度反映饮食结构和生活方式。国外很多学者探讨了年龄、性别、饮食结构、断奶、社会分工、社会经济地位等因素对儿童牙齿磨耗的影响,及乳齿恒齿磨耗差异、牙列磨耗模式特点、牙齿磨耗与错??畸形的关系等,而国内儿童牙齿磨耗研究相对薄弱。本文通过梳理和归纳相关文献,对儿童牙齿磨耗研究作简要概述,并对国内相关研究作简要回顾及展望。

A review of tooth wear of children

Tooth wear is a multifactorial, multistage, complex and gradual process characterized by progressive loss of hard dental tissues, which could indicate dietary structure and lifestyle to some extent. Many foreign scholars have explored the tooth wear of children, including deciduous and permanent teeth wear difference, tooth wear patterns of children, and the relationship between tooth wear and malocclusion, as well as its possible related factors consisting of age, gender, dietary habit, weaning time, social division of labor and socio-economic status. However, compared with foreign research, domestic research on tooth wear of children is scarce. By summarizing related literature, this article briefly reviews the research on children’s tooth wear and gives an outlook on future research of children’s tooth wear in China.
