title: [The level of consumption of sweets by the population and dental caries].
abstract: Examinations of 711 subjects of various age, sex, and social status, rural and urban residents, have shown that about 95% of the population are aware of the hazardous effects of sweets on the teeth. However more than a half of the examinees abuse sweets, this resulting in a higher incidence of caries. The most frequent sweet-eaters are children, women, urban workers, and rural employees.
