An epidemiologic survey of dental caries was undertaken in the town of Paulínia. S. Paulo state, south-eastern Brazil, in 1994, for the purpose of comparing the present prevalence with that registered during the previous study of 1980. The children examined numbered 1,416, were of both sexes and aged 7-14. Ten dentists, preciously trained, used DMF.T and DMF.S dental caries indexes. A level of prevalence of dental caries 67.8% below that of 1980 was found. Further, there had been an inversion of DMF.T index components. Whereas in 1980 the component caries was higher (69.5%), while the filing component prevailed (79.0%) in 1994. The missing tooth component has disappeared altogether in this recent survey.
1994年，为了将目前的龋齿患病率与1980年上次研究记录的患病率进行比较，在巴西东南部圣保罗州的保利尼亚镇进行了一项龋齿流行病学调查。接受检查的儿童有1416名，男女皆有，年龄在7至14岁之间。十名经过专门培训的牙医使用了DMF.T和DMF.S龋齿指数。结果发现，龋齿患病率比1980年低67.8%。此外，DMF.T指数的构成发生了逆转。1980年龋坏成分较高（69.5%），而1994年补牙成分占主导（79.0%）。在最近的这次调查中，缺牙成分已完全消失。
