Figure 13.2 Tooth decay and soft drink consumption 1973-93. Bar chart decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) in 12-year-old children (O Brien, 1994). Line graph soft drinks as a percentage of the total beverages consumed by 10- to 12-year-old children (data from Nestle National Drinks Surveys).

Fig. 15.10 Distribution of caries in a dental student population. The number of decayed, missing, and filled teeth due to caries (excluding third molars) was obtained for 74 junior and senior dental students attending the University of Oklahoma College of Dentistry in 1985 (M. Levine Unpublished data)... Fig. 15.10 Distribution of caries in a dental student population.

Fig. 16.5 Relationship of DMFT and index of fluorosis to water fluoride content. The left y-axis indicates the number of decayed missing and filled teeth from caries (DMFT) and the right y-axis indicates the index of fluorosis, a measure of the deleterious effect of fluoride on the enamel surface (see text). The x-axis indicates the ppm fluoride found naturally in the drinking water supply. Triangles indicate DMFT and circles indicate the fluorosis index in the same populations. The curves showing the decrease in caries and decrease in fluorosis intersect at 1 ppm fluoride in the water supply on the x-axis (Copy of Fig. 3 from Hodge HC, Smith FA. (1954). Some public health aspects of water fluoridation. American Association of the Advancement of Science Publication No 19 Washington DC 1954 AAAS 1954, pp. 79-109)...

Investigations of the efficacy of fluoridation carried out in Canada, the Netherlands, Finland, Ireland, New Zealand, the USSR, Puerto Rico and South America, as well as in the UK and USA, have all shown that fluoridation reduces the incidence of caries. A comparison of the number of decayed, missing and filled teeth (DMFT) in 15-year-old children in control and fluoridated towns in various parts of the world is shown in Table 11.4. From this it can be seen that fluoridation consistently caused a reduction of about 50% in spite of the fact that the DMFT indices of the control group varied from 8-04 to 16-80. [Pg.149]

This includes restoration of decayed teeth (filling cavities) and replacement of missing teeth. [Pg.2010]
