title: [Investigation of caries occurrence and occlusal restoration in beginning school children in Erfurt compared to Marburg an der Lahn].
abstract: At the end of 1990 in the area of Erfurt 309 and in and around Marburg an der Lahn 348 school beginners were examined by one children's dentist under identical conditions. The results (milk teeth) showed that the caries incidence (dmfs) was comparable in both regions. However, the proportion of restored milk teeth tended to be higher in Erfurt than in Marburg. In addition, the differences in individual caries incidence were more marked. In Marburg there were more caries-free children, but children whose teeth had been damaged by caries were more seriously damaged than those in Erfurt.
