Prevalence of dental caries among schoolchildren from North-Eastern Italian population.
CONCLUSIONS: Within the limits of the present study, the WHO goals are still not met, among the population in exam. Our results show a trend of decay diminution that enhances in the cohort of 10-aged children suggesting the importance of dental education. Furthermore, the lack of paediatric initiatives of oral hygiene may be overcome by a national intensive educational program, supported by further scientific evidence.
