A Longitudinal Study of Caries Development in Initially Caries-free Naval Recruits

R.G. Walter

Oral Diseases Division, Naval Dental Research Institute, Naval Base, Bldg. 1-H, Great Lakes, Illinois 60088

The purpose of this investigation was to determine the pattern of caries development in initially caries-free naval recruits during a four-year period. The results indicated that: (1) 37% of the individuals developed at least one carious lesion during the four-year study, (2) occlusal lesions occurred most frequently, (3) maxillary second molars were most frequently attacked, and (4) the development of caries mirrored the isolation frequency of Streptococcus mutans.
