Approximately caries-free 19-year-olds, percentage (%)

Number of approximately caries-free 19-year-olds divided by the total number of 19-year-olds surveyed, multiplied by 100. The key figure shows the proportion of 19-year-olds who are free of caries on the side surfaces of the teeth (approximalytor) in the permanent bite. The approximate tooth decay injuries are the injuries that primarily give rise to future care needs by the fact that many fillings need to be replenished due to secondary caries and filling fractures. Some regions only report value for the past year. Comparisons between regions should be made with caution as differences in patient data may affect the results. Data is available according to gender breakdown.
