Abstract(s)
Dental caries affects all age groups and is the most common chronic disease in
children aged 5 to 17 years. The present work seeks to know the dimension of the
problem, to compare the reality found in the school population, aged between 7
and 19 years old, in a municipality in the northern interior of Portugal with others
already studied, to calculate the distance that separates them from the goals of
the World Health Organization for the year 2020 and to evaluate and analyze the
association of the presence of dental caries with behavioral variables.408 children,
from the 1st and 2nd school cycles, from the 2006/2007 school year, attending public
schools were examined.
