ABSTRACT
A five year follow up study of the dental health of 12 year old children in Athens has recorded a significant (P < 0.01) 32.3 per cent reduction in DMFT. In 1988 the mean DMFT score was 2.41 compared with 1.63 in 1993. The caries reduction may be due in part to increased marketing of fluoride dentifrice by a number of competing national and international companies.
