Abstract
Radiographs for 15-year-old children in 1974/75, 1976/77 and 1983/84 were collected and scored for approximal caries. Information on the subsequent treatment of the same surfaces was obtained from the children’s treatment records. Approximately 15% of enamel lesions were filled in the beginning of the study period, while only 9% were filled by the end of the study period. A similar change was found for lesions in the outer half of the dentine. The number of lesions in the inner half of the dentine was too small to allow any conclusion.
