Sažetak
Four-hundred and fifty-three children aged between 2 and 6 from six nursery schools in the city of Zagreb were subjected to a study in order to assess the relative caries susceptibility in the deciduous teeth and their various surfaces. The children were grouped into 4 age groups according to their date of birth. The lower primary molars showed a higher caries prevalence than the upper teeth in all groups of children. The second molars showed a somewhat higher prevalence of lesions of all molar surfaces in all age groups taken together than was seen in the first molars. There was no difference in caries susceptibility between right and left molars. Occlusal caries were prevailing in all molars in the youngest group. In the further course the various surfaces of the first and second molars showed different incidence rates. The caries incidence of the font teeth compared to that of the molars was low, the mesial surfaces of the upper central incisors showing the greatest number of lesions in this area.
