Abstract

A dental examination as an isolated dental health service and a total health examination, including dental and medical checkups as a total health service, were provided for the same age groups of residents in a local community. The oral health status of the subjects of these examinations was compared, and the following results were obtained. 1. An overall comparison of dental conditions in the subjects of the two examinations revealed that the number of decayed teeth, reated teeth and missing teeth, the DFT index, and the DMFT index were tended to be higher for the total examination than for the isolated dental examination. Among the male subjects, the number of decayed teeth, treated teeth and missing teeth, the DFT index, and the DMFT index also tended to be higher for the total examination. In the female subjects, however, there was no consistent difference between the two examinations. 2. With regard to dental treatment, the percentage of subjects with decayed teeth, the percentage of those requiring prostheses treatment, and the number of teeth requiring prostheses treatment were slightly higher for the total examination. Among the male subjects, all these indices were higher for the total examination.In the female subjects, there was no consistent difference between the two examinations. 3. The overall distribution of the individual maximum CPITN code exhibited higher codes for the total examination, showing a significant difference between the two examinations. The results were also significantly higher for the total examination than for the isolated dental examination, when the male and female subjects were analyzed separately. 4. The mean number of sextants for each CPITN code was significantly lower for the isolated dental examination as a whole. The same tendency was observed when male and female subjects were analyzed separately.
