An epidemiological study involving 963 subjects aged 25 to 64 years revealed at least one carious and/or filled root surface in 40.2% of all females and in 42.7% of all males. The number of teeth and tooth surfaces affected by root caries increases continuously with age. In relation to the total number of teeth, males display a higher prevalence of root caries than females, with the exception of men aged between 55 and 64. High-risk susceptibility shows no correlation with age, although there are more surfaces at risk in males. Independent of the sex, root caries prevalence is highest in the molars and premolars of the mandible and in the canine of the maxilla; lower incisors are the teeth with the least caries involvement. Labial root surfaces are most frequently affected by caries in the mandible; the prevalence rate is twice as high in males than females. The lingual surfaces of maxillary molars of females and the proximal and buccal surfaces of incisors of males are the most frequently affected tooth surfaces.
一项涉及963名年龄在25至64岁之间受试者的流行病学研究显示，所有女性中有40.2%、所有男性中有42.7%至少有一个龋坏和/或已充填的牙根面。受根龋影响的牙齿和牙面数量随年龄持续增加。就牙齿总数而言，除55至64岁的男性外，男性根龋患病率高于女性。高风险易感性与年龄无关，尽管男性有更多的风险牙面。无论性别如何，根龋患病率在下颌磨牙和前磨牙以及上颌尖牙中最高；下切牙是龋患最少的牙齿。在下颌，唇侧牙根面最常受龋病影响；男性患病率是女性的两倍。女性上颌磨牙的舌面以及男性切牙的邻面和颊面是最常受影响的牙面。
