A Global Perspective on the Burden of Caries in Permanent Teeth in China (1990-2021): A Population-Based Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The aim of this study was to assess trends in the burden of caries in permanent teeth in China over the past 32 years and compare them with G20 countries, and project future trends up to 2036.

Method

Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2021 study. We describe temporal trends in age-standardised incidence, prevalence, and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) of caries in permanent teeth in China, the Group of Twenty (G20), and globally. Disease burden status was analysed using a combination of age-period-cohort modeling, Joinpoint regression analysis, decomposition analysis, and health inequality analysis. Finally, Bayesian age-period-cohort (BAPC) modeling was applied to predict the burden of permanent dental caries in China by 2036.
