The aim of this project is to estimate caries levels in public and private schools in these 3 cities. A total of 160 children in each age group in each city was examined for caries which was diagnosed at cavitation level. Radiographs were not used. The mean dmft in 6-year-old subjects attending private schools in Jeddah was 2.9 compared with 6.3 in those attending public schools. The corresponding figures in Rabagh were 1.5 and 2.c whilst in Mecca the figures were 2.7 and 2.8 respectively. Ir. 12- year-olds the mean DMFT in private schools in Jeddah was 2.1 whereas in public schools it was 5.1. The corresponding figures fsr Rabagh were 1.6 and 1.8'whilst in Mecca they were 1.5 and 2.3 respectively. A similar trend emerges in 15-year-olds with considerably higher caries levels in public than in private schools in Jeddah; in Rabagh and Mecca differences are less apparent. It ir; concluded that the prevalence of dental caries is higher in those attending public schools especially in an area with <.3 ppm fluoride in the drinking water.  ردمد : 0  اسم الدورية : مجلة أبحاث طب الأسنان  المجلد : 86  العدد : 1  سنة النشر : 1989 هـ 1989 م  نوع المقالة : مقالة علمية  تاريخ الاضافة على الموقع : Sunday, December 9, 2007  الباحثون اسم الباحث (عربي) اسم الباحث (انجليزي) نوع الباحث المرتبة العلمية البريد الالكتروني طارق الخطيب AL-KHATEEB, Tariq باحث دكتوراه tlalkatid@kaau.edu.sa الملفات اسم الملف النوع الوصف  25193.pdf pdf   الرجوع إلى صفحة الأبحاث
