title: [Root caries in a patient population in northern Norway].
abstract: The prevalence of root caries in an adult population of patients (n = 254) admitted to treatment in a private dental practice was recorded according to Katz RCI-index. Mean RCI in the whole group was 22.6, for those with exposed root surface 32.4. Users of partial denture had a mean RCI about twice as large as non-users.
