  • Title: [Is there a connection between coronal and root caries involvement?].
    Author: Heinrich R, Künzel W, Heinrich J, Holtz H.
    Journal: Zahn Mund Kieferheilkd Zentralbl; 1989; 77(8):771-4. PubMed ID: 2534009.
    Abstract:
    The relationship between coronal and root caries was analyzed in a sample of 963 people aged 25 to 64 years. Subjects with root caries had fewer teeth, more teeth with untreated coronal caries, and more teeth which need conservative treatments and extractions than did people with no root caries. In the age older than 55 years those with root caries had more teeth in the average of 2.5 teeth for both sexes. The other parameters of dental health showed the same differences compared with younger subjects.
