[The oro-dental status of children 6-15-years of age in Pays de la Loire, Vienne and Deux Sèvres].

This survey was conducted on a representative sample of schoolchildren aged 6 to 15 years from Pays de la Loire, Vienne and Deux-Sèvres. The results showed that the DMFT and DMFS indices increased with age. The girls had a higher caries experience. The children from rural zones had a higher caries prevalence than those of urban areas. However the differences were not statistically significant. Relatively low values were recorded between 6 and 15 years for the plaque index, the calculus index and the gingival index.
