throughout a ten-year period showed a 28% decrease in dental caries in children's deciduous
teeth between the ages of three and five. Reduced cavities by 34% in children ages 6 to 12's
permanent teeth Children aged 13 to 17 had 14% fewer permanent teeth. increases in the filled-
tooth ratio When compared to water fluoridation, the cost of the programme was higher and the
reductions in caries were smaller.
Research
3. When a population group is enrolled in a programme, accumulated dental requirements are met
(initial care), and new increments of dental disease are detected and treated on a semiannual or
other periodic basis (maintenance care). In addition to removing pain and infection, services are
also offered to replace missing teeth, restore functionally sound teeth to good condition, provide
maintenance care for the control of early lesions of dental disease, and implement educational
and other preventive measures to help the population experience a lower prevalence of disease.
