Abstract

The study was conducted on 758 children in Vinh Phuc province, aged 2-4 years old, studying at some kindergartens in Vinh Phuc province. Objectives: describe and evaluate the status of dental caries before and after intervention in a group of 2–4-year-olds at some kindergartens in Vinh Yen city, Vinh Phuc province. Methods: Cross-sectional study and community-based non-randomised controlled intervention study. Results: The rate of children 2-4 years old with tooth decay was 71.4%; dmft: 5.63±5.46; dmfs: 8.58±10.27; After intervention with fluoride varnish, 47.2% of the tooth surface damaged at l stage 1 and stage 2 returned to normal, 0.31.4% of the tooth surface remained at stage 1 and stage 2, 21.4% of the tooth surface changed to worse stage 3-6. Conclusion: The effectiveness of fluoride varnish on smooth and occlusal surfaces is different at the same stage of damage: stage 1,2 caries on the smooth surface progressed better than lesions located on the occlusal surface, the difference was statistically significant. In the smooth surface, the rate of lesions returning to normal was 72.9% with stage 1 and 49.5% with stage 2. Meanwhile, on the occlusal surface, only 36.5% of stage 1 lesions and 9.1% of stage 2 lesions returns to normal.
