abstract: The German Association for Dentistry project "Epidemiology" studied the dental findings of 2,336 patients over the age of 15 in 15 dental practices in Middle Hesse. Occupation-related evaluation of the DMF-T index and the oral hygiene findings showed that the caries rate was relatively unrelated to the patient's occupation. Differences in the state of oral hygiene however were observed.
