Prevalence of Caries on Individual Tooth Surfaces and its Distribution by Age and Gender in University Clinic Patients
TLDR
Gender and age do not affect the prevalence of caries on teeth sites, and more caries are experienced in younger age groups, and their incidence decreases as age increases, except for individuals older than 65 years of age.Abstract:
Objectives:
The objectives of the present study were to assess the prevalence rate of caries on individual permanent tooth surfaces, and to compare individual tooth surface caries rates among gender and age groups.read more

TL;DR: Low-certainty evidence suggested that flossing, in addition to toothbrushing, may reduce gingivitis, which is measured by gingival index (GI) at one month, according to GRADE.

Gender differences in oral health in South Asia: Metadata imply multifactorial biological and cultural causes
TL;DR: South Asia was selected for study because sex differences in caries rates exist in prehistory here, great cultural diversity provides context, and clinical reports document caries by gender.

Prevalence of dental caries among 12–14 year old children in Qatar
TL;DR: Dental caries prevalence among school children in Qatar has reached critical levels, and is influenced by socio-demographic factors, the second highest detected in the Eastern Mediterranean region.

Longitudinal studies of the natural history of caries. II. A life-table study of caries incidence in the permanent teeth.
TL;DR: Although differences in tooth eruption times were sufficient to explain most of the observed male-female differences in age-specific caries prevalence, females continued to show a distinctly higher risk of caries attack in first and second molars when the time of eruption was controlled.

Incidence and progression of approximal caries from 11 to 22 years of age in Sweden: A prospective radiographic study.
TL;DR: Using annual bite–wing radiographs, the incidence and progression of approximal caries were assessed longitudinally in teenagers and adolescents whose treatment had been based on remineralizing rather than restorative strategies.

Diagnostic tools and measurements--impact on appropriate care.
TL;DR: Research in this area should focus for the next five years on diagnostic technologies which inform valid prospective caries risk assessments for different age groups, can help to determine present caries activity and monitor lesion behaviour over time and help identify methods which can implement existing and new research knowledge about diagnostic tools into clinical and research practice.

Dental caries in older adults.
TL;DR: New materials and techniques are emerging to help with geriatric preventive and restorative needs, but ongoing vigilance for caries will be required in this population, which is experiencing increased longevity and tooth retention.
