Summary
The aim of this study was to investigate the incidence of caries in a 6-year follow-up study, to determine the Treatment Needs Index for dental caries, and the restorative Care Index. Oral health is an important component of general health. It has an impact on quality of life because, e.g. dental caries can influence on a person’s ability to eat, speak or socialise [1]. The incidence of dental caries in children is often related to the lifestyle of every individual. Incidence shows the rate of newly diagnosed cases of the disease. It is reported as the number of new cases occurred within a period of time [2,3,4,5]. Today caries is still a very significant public health problem and one of the most common diseases in children [6,7,8]
