<b>Underestimation of the prevalence of approximal caries and inadequate restorations in a clinical epidemiological study</b>

Abstract

It was concluded that the prevalence of approximal caries and inadequate restorations in this clinical epidemiological study was highly underestimated. At least for these age groups the results contain a serious warning for epidemiologists and general dental practitioners with respect to the outcome of clinical caries diagnosis.
