  • Title: Dental health of 12-year-old children living in similar rural communities in France and England.
    Author: Lunn HD.
    Journal: Int J Paediatr Dent; 1993 Dec; 3(4):187-92. PubMed ID: 8142321.
    Abstract:
    A survey was conducted of the dental health of 12-year-old children attending state schools in the towns of Segré (France) and Shaftesbury (England). The results showed that the Segré children had DMFT and DMFS scores double that of the Shaftesbury children. More Segré children had calculus and more were undergoing orthodontic treatment. There were no significant differences between the two schools in gingival health and oral cleanliness, but in both the French and English schools the girls had cleaner teeth than the boys.
