title: [Approximal caries in children].
abstract: A longitudinal radiological study in children (N = 549) who participated in a comprehensive maintenance program (they were treated in the clinic of the Department of Pedodontics of the Academic Centre for Dentistry Amsterdam) suggests that changes in the approximal surfaces of deciduous molars may differ from the changes in the approximal surfaces of permanent (pre)molars. Regression and initiation possibly occur more frequently in the deciduous teeth than in permanent teeth.
