Geo-mapping of caries risk in children and adolescents - a novel approach for allocation of preventive care
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Dental caries in children is unevenly distributed within populations with a higher burden in low socio-economy groups. Thus, tools are needed to allocate resources and establish evidence-based programs that meet the needs of those at risk. The aim of the study was to apply a novel concept for presenting epidemiological data based on caries risk in the region of Halland in southwest Sweden, using geo-maps.
