title: [Epidemiological studies in 14-16-year old pupils from schools in Lippstadt. 1. Caries occurrence and oral hygiene].
abstract: In a cross-sectional examination we received a current state of the prevalence of caries of 14-16 year old pupils, who attend different types of schools in Lippstadt, a town with a balanced social structure. An average DMF-S-Index of 14.6 (DMF-T: 7.8) was found. The particular results show a clear influence of age, sex and type of school. Comparing our results with former examinations a tendency of reduced caries-prevalence can be derived from the low annual caries-increment.
