    Area of Science:

    • Public Health
    • Pediatric Dentistry
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • Dental caries rates in Israel increased during the 1970s.
    • Developed nations generally observed a decline in dental caries post-1970.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess changes in dental caries prevalence among Israeli first graders.
    • To compare 1985 caries data with a 1977 survey.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey of 267 first graders (6-year-olds) was conducted.
    • The same investigator and methodology as the 1977 survey were used.
    • Prevalence and caries score were recorded.

    Main Results:

    • In 1985, 78% of children were affected by dental caries, with an average caries score of 4.9.
    • This represents a decrease from 1977, when 86.2% of children had a caries score of 5.2.
    • A significant reduction in dental caries prevalence was observed.

    Conclusions:

    • Dental caries prevalence in Israeli first graders significantly decreased between 1977 and 1985.
    • The findings suggest a positive trend in pediatric oral health in Israel during this period.
