title: [The prevalence of dental caries in Provence in 6-15-year-old children].
abstract: An epidemiological study of the oral conditions of 771 schoolchildren aged 6 to 15 years was conducted in 5 departments of South of France (Alpes de Haute Provence, Hautes Alpes, Bouches du Rhône, Corse and Vaucluse). The DMFT and DMFS indices were slightly higher than the national means. The children had a mean DMFT of 0.66 at 6 years and 7 at 15 years. The periodontal conditions were relatively good.
