[Epidemiological survey of dental caries in primary schoolchildren in Condeixa-Nova during 1986/87].
An epidemiological survey on the prevalence of dental caries was carried out among the population of the primary schools in the municipality of Condeixa-a-Nova. A total of 716 children from both sexes, 6-13 years old, was involved, being comparatively higher the number of boys. The values of CPO which we found were not high, being of great interest on the component of carious teeth without treatment (lack of professionals? lack of motivation?). It was verified that the CPO index was rather higher among girls than among boys.
