The risk factors of baby bottle tooth decay by logistic regression analysis
Abstract：AIM: To study the risk factors of baby bottle tooth decay(BBTD). METHODS: To investigate the risk factom of caries and their plaque pH. The numeral relationship between the risk fctors and BBTD was studied by the Logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Feeding time, baby bottle composition, desert habit and plaque pH were the risk factors. The coincidence between the prevalence of BBTD and the results of Logistic regression analysis was 96.2 %. CONCLUSION: It suggested that the four risk factors are more accurate than mere bacterial parameter in BBTD prediction.
