title: [Epidemiological profile of dental caries and treatment needs].
abstract: In a population survey 2,263 patients were examined for their caries status and treatment needs. The DMF/T-Index and the individual relative risk for caries were calculated. Adolescents and young adults showed a high caries risk and required most of all necessary restorations. But especially older adults and seniors over 55 years presented a high caries risk, required more extensive restorations and more public dental health care at all.
