DMFT scores were determined in series of 1) urban Black adolescents (132 boys, 143 girls) aged 16–18 yr, and 2) rural Black mothers (480) aged 20–35 yr. Each series was divided into upper and lower thirds, with respect to DMFT. No relationship was apparent between segments with good versus inferior teeth, and blood groups.
