title: [Caries status and periodontal health in 6- to 10-year old elementary school children in Graz compared to Swiss, Swedish and WHO principles].
abstract: In a complete survey, 7500 primary pupils in Graz aged between six and ten years were examined for caries and periodontal health. Comparison with the DMF-T values of primary school pupils in Switzerland and Sweden indicated that considerable efforts are required in Austria if preventive dental health education is to achieve the standard status it has enjoyed for years in the other countries mentioned.
