Abstract
Abstract The purpose of the study was to determine caries levels and prevalences of previously identified caries patterns in low income children in the primary dentition in Ohio, USA. Children were examined from urban fluoridated (n= 505), urban non‐fluoridated (n= 395), non‐urban optimal fluoride (n= 183), and non‐urban suboptimal fluoride (n= 227) sites. Caries scores were similar for the two sites having optimal fluoride; scores from fluoridated sites were lower than scores from the two suboptimal fluoride sites. Children from all four sites were caries‐free ranging from 36% in the urban non‐fluoridated site to 50% in the non‐urban optimally fluoride site. More children in the suboptimal fluoridated sites had smooth surface lesions than in the optimally fluoridated sites. More children with defect associated lesions had fewer than six (x2= 222; P<0.01) carious surfaces than did children with smooth surface lesions. Copyright © 1986, Wiley Blackwell.
