Trends of caries prevalence in Europe - a review

The extension of fluoride prevention in the Western-European countries changed basically the caries prevalence of the young population in these countries, which influenced also the conception of preventive care. In the Central- Eastern European countries, with a high prevalence of dental caries, countrywide-based national caries-preventive programs are necessary. Concerning the Western-European countries with a low caries prevalence, targeted programs for high-risk groups should be planned. In this respect the forecast of risk-groups with high caries activity gains an increased importance.

Key words: caries decline, trends of caries prevalence, high risk groups, caries activity
