Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this study was to compare the dental caries prevalence of samples who had been examined by WHO recommended criteria and precavitated carious lesion criteria. There were 1,553 samples at the age of 0-74 years old. Each sample was examined twice by the same examiner. Dental caries were recorded according to both criteria. When precavitated criteria were used, the prevalence of dental caries were 7.5% and 12.0% higher than measured by WHO criteria in primary and permanent teeth respectively. The precavitated teeth among age groups were 0.5-2.8 teeth per person. Although the WHO criteria provided a high reliability, the caries detection was under estimated, and provided a very limited prediction for prevention.
