Abstract

SANTOS MARTI, J; RUBIO GARCIA, B; SANTOS BISTUE, C  and  RUBIO CALVO, E. Scholrstooth decay ratio from Barbastro Primary Care Service. Av Odontoestomatol [online]. 2005, vol.21, n.1, pp.355-360. ISSN 2340-3152.

The Oral Health Unit from Barbastro (Insalud Health Centre) completed between 2000 and 2002 an epidemiologic study of the tooth decay for 1,665 scholars between 6 and 14 years old. The global prevalence obtained totalled 41.49%. By age groups, it totalled 33% at 6, 57.14% at 12 and 71.24% at 14 years old. CAO-D index were 0.06 at 6, 1.52 at 12 and 3.64 at 14. When comparing these ratios with similar ratios from surrounding regions, we conclude that results obtained from our study are lower in the 6 years old group, similar in the 12 years old group and higher in the 14 years old group restauration ratios are lower at 12 years old and significantly lower at 14 years old.
