    Author: Chen X, Liu HB, Liu SJ.
    Journal: Shanghai Kou Qiang Yi Xue; 2003 Feb; 12(1):14-5. PubMed ID: 14661453.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation of caries experience between primary teeth and the first permanent molars. METHODS: A total of 100 school children 6 years old were surveyed. The caries diagnosis criteria defined by WHO were employed. The data were statistically analyzed by use of SAS. RESULTS: Fisher's exact test showed that there was association between the caries experience of primary teeth and that of the first permanent molars in 6-year-old children. The average dmft of primary teeth was in positive correlation with DMFT of the first permanent molars(r = 0.5629). The results were statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The primary tooth caries experience may play an important role in predicting permanent tooth caries. More attention was suggested to pay to the children with more primary teeth decayed.
