  		Figure 1. Annual root caries incidence and 95% confidence interval by study. Australia, Canada, Sweden, USA-FL (Florida), USA-IA (Iowa)-1, and USA-NC (North Carolina) met the validity criteria (Appendix Table 3). USA-NY (New York) and USA-WA (Washington) reported findings for both control and treatment groups in caries-prevention trials, because incidence was not statistically different between groups.

  		Figure 2. Annual mean root caries increment and 95% confidence interval by study. Australia, Canada, Sweden, USA-AL (Alabama), USA-FL, USA-IA-1, and USA-NC met the validity criteria (Appendix Table 3). USA-IA-2 included both controls and treatment groups in fluoridated toothpaste clinical trials. USA-AL included missing surfaces.

  		Figure 3. Annual mean total caries (root plus coronal) increment and 95% confidence interval by study. Australia, Canada, Sweden, USA-FL, USA-IA-1, and USA-NC met the validity criteria (Appendix Table 3). USA-IA-2 included both controls and treatment groups in fluoridated toothpaste clinical trial.
