Abstract: Objective To compare the risk factors of early childhood caries(ECC)and non-caries among children aged 3 to 5 years in Jinan. Methods A total of 606 children aged 3~5 years ［293 males, 313 females, mean age:(4.210±0.816)years］ were included in the study. A questionnaire was designed to collect social demographics, feeding habits and oral hygiene behaviors. Primary caries was examined and recorded by decayed, missing, filled teeth(dmft)index. The subjects were divided into two groups as caries-risk group(dmft>0,n=360)and caries-free group(dmft=0,n=246). Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to explore the factors related to dental caries. Results Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that the incidence of dental caries was significantly associated with long-duration breastfeeding(OR=2.454, 95%CI: 1.422-4.233, P=0.001), high frequency of bedtime dessert intake(OR=5.721, 95%CI:1.253-26.131, P=0.024), and high frequency of sweet snack intake(OR=2.057, 95%CI: 0.966-4.880, P=0.062). Conclusions Long-duration breastfeeding, high frequency sweets consumption and eating sweets before sleep- 山 东 大 学 学 报 (医 学 版)57卷11期 -秦秀荣,等.济南市3~5岁低龄儿童龋相关危险因素分析 \=-ing are important susceptibility factors of early childhood caries. While promoting long-duration breastfeeding, we should balance the harm of dental caries in children and control the time and frequency of sweet food intake in order to reduce the risk of dental caries in children.
