STUDIES ON THE INCIDENCE AND CAUSE OF DENTAL DEFECTS IN CHILDREN

VIII. THE DECIDUOUS MOLARS: CARIES INCIDENCE

MARCU BRUCKER D.D.S.1

1 Dental Division, Bureau of Health Education and Service, Board of Education, Newark, N. J.

The incidence of caries of the deciduous molars was reported for a group of 2,211 white and Negro children of both sexes. Various social strata were represented. The caries incidence was higher in the white children than in the Negroes. The second deciduous molars were more frequently attacked by dental caries than the first. More lower than upper molars were found carious. Resistance to the initiation of caries was variously demonstrated in the males and females of the two races studied. Social status seemed to play no part in caries immunity as children of better economic levels showed a preponderance of affected molars.
