Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine measurable value of variability between different examination groups by use of multifactor analysis.
The material consisted of 150 children of both sexes, aged 5 to 7 years. All subjects were divided into three groups by their social economic background; 79 children in a group from worker families, 49 children from administrative worker families and 22 children whose parents are farmers. All subjects were examined using recom mendations of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the results obtained were statistically processed.
In the group of children from workers families we found 428 teeth with caries,106 teeth with fillings and 30 extracted. Total KEP was 566 and KIP was 6.99. In the group of children from administrative workers families the number of caries teeth was 201, filled 107 and 23 teeth extracted. Total KEP was 331 and KIP 6.75. In the group of children with an agricultural background caries was found in59 teeth, 27 teeth were with fillings and 20 teeth extracted. Total KEP was 106 and KIP was 4.91. ?2 test found was 46.7675 with 5% accurency and 4 degree of error. The Student’s T-test for children of workers and administrative workers was 1.845, for children of workers and farmers 1.980 and for children of administrative workers ind farmers -1.028. The total number of examined teeth was 3577, general caries frequency (KIO) was 95.15%, relative caries frequency (KIZ) was 25.88 and average KIP was 6.21.
In this age group of children, considering ?2 of 46.7675 and based on 5% of significance with tabular of 5.99 we found statistically significant defference for children of farmers. Considering the Student’s T-test of -1.028 and based on 70 degrees of liberty, three is statistically significant difference between the social-economic index for children of administrative workers and farmers.
