Resumen
Cariogenic predisposition was surveyed in a sample of 561 children, 320 female and 241 male, with a range age between 3 and 14 years. There were no signifficant differences between sexes or age group. A difference (p<0.01) was, however, found when the number of children lacking predisposition to experience caries (38%) was compared to those having such predisposition (62%). In conclusion, the surveyed sample shows a statistically significant predisposition to suffer dental caries.
