[Inter- and intrapersonal coincidence of caries epidemiologic data]

For testing the reliability of caries epidemiologic data a group of 273 children, aged 7 to 15 years, was examined by two dentists. A second group of children was investigated twice by one examiner at an interval of two weeks. Neither an inter-examiner nor an intra-examiner comparison of these data did indicate any statistically significant differences in caries incidence.
