The caries experience among 6- and 12-year-old children in the The Netherlands from the mid seventies showed a continued decreasing trend. A halt in the decline of caries experience of the primary dentition of 6-year-olds occurred after 1983, whereas among 12-year-old children the decrease in mean DMFS values continued in the period 1980-1989. The 1996 survey in The Hague showed that the decline in caries in 12-year-old native children of low socioeconomic status (SES) has come to an end (average DMFT of 1.1). However, in medium- and high-SES groups, the percentages of caries-free children have continued to rise. Of the medium-SES 6- and 12-year-old children, 79 and 89% were caries-free, respectively; in the high-SES children the respective figures were 84 and 86%. A DMFT of 0.3 in 12-year-olds of medium and high SES was found, the general value was 0.7 and 74% with zero caries experience.
荷兰6岁和12岁儿童的龋病患病情况自七十年代中期起呈持续下降趋势。1983年后，6岁儿童乳牙列龋病患病情况的下降趋势停止，而在1980 - 1989年期间，12岁儿童的平均DMFS值继续下降。1996年在海牙进行的调查显示，社会经济地位较低（SES）的12岁本地儿童龋病下降趋势已结束（平均DMFT为1.1）。然而，在中高SES组中，无龋儿童的百分比持续上升。中SES的6岁和12岁儿童中，无龋儿童的比例分别为79%和89%；在高SES儿童中，相应数字分别为84%和86%。中高SES的12岁儿童DMFT为0.3，总体值为0.7，74%的儿童无龋病经历。
