Using a study population in Saudi Arabia, this study recorded the current caries experience in first permanent molars and sought to correlate it with age and overall caries experience. A strong relationship was found between the caries experience of the first permanent molar and the mean DMFT score for the study population, as was a relationship with age of the individual. It is suggested that such a correlation may be helpful in the prediction of caries progression for individuals or groups.
本研究以沙特阿拉伯的研究人群为对象，记录了第一恒磨牙目前的龋病患病情况，并试图将其与年龄和总体龋病患病情况相关联。研究发现，第一恒磨牙的龋病患病情况与研究人群的平均龋失补指数（DMFT）得分之间存在密切关系，同时也与个体年龄有关。研究表明，这种相关性可能有助于预测个体或群体的龋病进展情况。
