STUDIES ON THE INCIDENCE AND CAUSE OF DENTAL DEFECTS IN CHILDREN

IX. THE DECIDUOUS MOLARS: FISSURES AND CARIES

MARCU BRUCKER D.D.S.1

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

The fissure incidence in the first and second deciduous molars of a group of 2,211 white and Negro children was ascertained. An analysis of the findings shows that only a very small percentage of the deciduous molars have this defect. The most essential fact which emerges from this investigation is that in no way can the incidence of this fault be compared with that of caries. To imply a direct relationship between the two is definitely erroneous. Other factors must be responsible for the initiation and prevalence of caries in these teeth.
