This follow-up of the oral health of children and young adults in Espoo, Finland, has been carried out using annual check-ups done by dentists at the Espoo Health Center. There was about 80% participation in municipal dental care by 3- to 18-yr-olds. Each age group included 1700-2300 individuals. The DMFT-index for 12-yr-olds was 6.9 initially and only 2.2 at the end of the 12-yr follow-up. The reduced DMFT and increased number of clinically caries free children is probably the cumulative effect of various preventive measures adopted during the follow-up period. The proportional influence of each procedure is unknown.
芬兰埃斯波对儿童和年轻人口腔健康的这项随访，是通过埃斯波健康中心的牙医进行年度检查来开展的。3至18岁的人群中，约80%参与了市政牙科护理。每个年龄组包括1700 - 2300人。12岁儿童的龋失补指数（DMFT指数）最初为6.9，在12年随访结束时仅为2.2。DMFT指数的降低和临床上无龋儿童数量的增加，可能是随访期间采取的各种预防措施的累积效应。每个程序的比例影响尚不清楚。
