Caries prevalence data from recent studies in all European countries showed a general trend towards a further decline for children and adolescents. However, in several countries with already low caries prevalence in primary teeth, there was no further decrease. Regarding the permanent dentition, further reductions were observed in the 12-year age group, these being even more evident at the ages of 15-19 years. In some Central and Eastern European countries, caries prevalence in children and adolescents was still high. Few data were available on young adults, but the benefits of prevention are becoming manifest. The available data on the use of toothbrushes, fluorides and other pertinent items provided few clues as to the causes of the decline in caries prevalence.
