Key:

* = p <0.05

** = p <0.001

ds/DS = primary (d)/permanent (D) teeth tooth surfaces with caries lesions

I = initial caries lesion

Mo = moderate caries lesion

E = extensive caries lesion

fs/FS = filled surfaces in primary (f) or permanent (F) teeth

ms/MS = due to caries, missing surfaces in primary (m) or permanent (M) teeth.
