| Abstract | Introduction: High caries prevalence in children is a major oral health issue. Few studies about dental caries have been conducted on children with mixed dentitions (presence of both primary and permanent teeth). Specific information is needed validating the correlation between caries in primary and permanent teeth in the same child. Methods: Dental caries patterns were assessed for children 7 to 10 years old from two different elementary schools. Linear regression analysis was used to determine whether the presence of caries in the primary teeth significantly correlated with caries in the permanent teeth. Results: The study found significant correlations between caries in primary and permanent dentitions (p < 0.05). The highest correlation was found among 7 year old children at one elementary school (r=.805, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Decay on primary teeth should be a risk indicator for caries in permanent teeth. |
