Abstract
111
In the present study, the problem of caries and its actual state in a seaside region of Granada is analyzed. 1.001 aged 5 to 15 scholars from three towns -Motril, Itrabo and Molvizar- were studied. In the descriptive survey, the prevalence of the illness by CO, CAOD, CAOS and CAOM epidemiologic indexes is registeted, and also its distribution by place, age and sex. A general 1,45 CO, global 1,22 CAOD, 1,36 total CAOS and 0,94 CAOM were estimated.
The relation of sweets taken out of the eating time, buccodental hygiene degree and fluorization drinking water levels with caries are studied in the analitic part. Straight connection was observed of sweets consuming to the total of caries (in both temporary and permanent teeth). A significant clear correlation was also observed between the levels of fluor and the prevalence of caries in temporary teeth, which was higher than in permanent teeth .
