Abstract:
The paper reports data regarding dental caries in deciduous and permanent teeth in a sample population of 1015 pupils aged between 5 and 15, resident in the mountain community of the Chisone and Germanasca Valleys. The DMF index was significantly high, especially if one takes into account that the partial findings referring to '89 are virtually unchanged in comparison to '87.

Group Design
The most basic experimental design involves two groups: the experimental group and the control group. The two groups are designed to be the same except for one difference— experimental manipulation. The experimental group gets the experimental manipulation—that is, the treatment or variable being tested—and the control group does not. Since experimental manipulation is the only difference between the experimental and control groups, we can be sure that any differences between the two are due to...
Stratified Sampling Method
Sampling is a technique to select a portion (or subset) of the larger population and study that portion (the sample) to gain information about the population. The sampling method ensures that samples are drawn without bias and accurately represent the population. Because measuring the entire population in a study is not practical, researchers use samples to represent the population of interest.
To choose a stratified sample, divide the population into groups called strata and then take a...
