title: Socio-economic risk factors for gingival disease in children.
abstract: The present investigation was undertaken to detect children at risk of gingival disease. Two hundred and eighty-five French 7-year-olds were examined. The lesion was evaluated with regard to socio-economic status in relation with the mean gingival index. The findings show that we can define a principal risk group, children of migrant workers.
