A 5-year longitudinal study of caries development in first permanent molars in children
The present study analysed the development of caries in 653 first permanent molars annually over a period of 5 years in children who were 7 years-old at baseline. The cumulative caries experience increased from 6.0 at baseline to 35.2 at the end of the study period. There were no appreciable differe...
