Abstract:
The dental health status of 2193 seven- to fifteen-year old pupils was evaluated in Hamburg. A total of 20.6% of these school children hat caries-free dentitions. Among the seven-year-old children this figure was 43.4% and it dropped down to 4.8% among the fifteen-year old ones. DMFS values increased from 1.0% to 13.8% between the same groups. Obviously, caries prevalence was increasing to a statistically significant degree with the lower social classes.
