The prevalence of dental caries in 6, 9, 12 and 15-year-old school children of Chandigarh, selected on a randomized basis was evaluated using Moller's criteria (1966) and correlated with the various risk factors. The mean deft was found to be 4.0 +/- 3.6 in 6 year old and 4.61 +/- 3.14 in 9 year old, whereas the mean DMFT in 12 and 15 year old was found to be 3.03 +/- 2.52 and 3.82 +/- 2.85 respectively. The high prevalence of dental caries in these children was attributed to the lack of use of fluoride toothpaste (80% children), lack of knowledge about etiology of dental caries (98%) and frequency of sugar exposures up to more than five times per day (30%).
在随机选取的昌迪加尔6岁、9岁、12岁和15岁学童中，使用莫勒标准（1966年）评估龋齿患病率，并将其与各种风险因素相关联。结果发现，6岁儿童的平均乳牙龋失补牙面数（deft）为4.0±3.6，9岁儿童为4.61±3.14，而12岁和15岁儿童的平均恒牙龋失补牙面数（DMFT）分别为3.03±2.52和3.82±2.85。这些儿童龋齿患病率高的原因是未使用含氟牙膏（80%的儿童）、对龋齿病因缺乏了解（98%）以及每天糖摄入频率高达五次以上（30%）。
