A computer program for analysis of dental caries data.

This paper describes the basic principles underlying the development of a computer program for the analyses of dental caries data. A data structure is described which is based on a definition of each tooth or tooth surface in the dentition, using a multi-dimensional co-ordinate system. The basic process for the computer to perform is to count the number of locations which fulfill certain predefined criteria. Programs developed according to these principles will yield exactly the output the individual user is asking for, no more and no less.

Effect on dental caries of a dental public health program for Danish schoolchildren.

The effect of a dental public health program comprising schoolchildren under the Danish Act on Child Dental Health has been evaluated after 5 years of operation. The program comprised complete restorative care for all children from kindergarten through the 9th grade (16 years of age), but only children attending kindergarten through third grade (10 years) are included in the present study. Each grade comprised approximately 50 children. A number of preventive procedures such as topical fluoride application, oral hygiene instruction and various other educational procedures have been used. The treatment services resulted in almost complete elimination of the "D" component and the "M" component in the DMFS index. The preventive services resulted in marked reductions in the total DMFS index, and almost complete elimination of new carious lesions after enrollment in the program. The non-experimental nature of the study makes it possible to determine the effect of each one of the preventive procedures used in the program.
