摘要：

Following the World Health Organization criteria, a total of 1,604 out of 3,225 children aged 6, 11 and 14 years living on the 20 islands of the Cyclades complex were examined. Recordings showed that in the 6-year-old children, the mean dmft index was 2.21 (SD=3.00) with 46% caries free. In the Ii-year-old children, the DMFT averaged 1.39 (SD=1.78) with 46% caries free. In the 14-year-old children, the mean DMFT was 2.62 (SD=2.83) with 32% caries free. Statistically significant differences were found in the DMFT of the 11- and 14-year-old subjects living in naturally water fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas. According to these data, it appears that the first two WHO targets for the year 2000 are almost fulfilled.
