Abstract
Over 2000 Thai school children from 4 to 18 years of age were given dental examinations. Observations were made of caries prevalence, gingival health, and occlusion. The most significant finding was the high caries attack rate in the deciduous teeth of children living in the Bangkok area. It is suggested that this may be due in part to the increased sugar and wheat flour consumption.Keywords
