The dental caries experience of 6- and 12-year-old children in Jordan and England was compared. The 6-year-old Jordanian children had significantly higher dmft scores than the English children, largely due to the greater numbers of decayed teeth in Jordan. Mean DMFT scores for 12-year-old children were similar in the two countries, however, the DMFT totals included more decayed and missing teeth in Jordan and more filled teeth in England. In both countries there were significant differences between the caries experience of children from different social classes.
对约旦和英国6岁及12岁儿童的龋齿患病情况进行了比较。6岁的约旦儿童dmft得分显著高于英国儿童，这主要是因为约旦儿童的龋齿数量更多。然而，两国12岁儿童的平均DMFT得分相似，不过约旦的DMFT总分中龋齿和缺失牙更多，而英国的补过牙的数量更多。在两国，来自不同社会阶层的儿童的龋齿患病情况均存在显著差异。
