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

Dental Caries in Adult and Elderly Chinese
TL;DR: Data indicate that when the oral hygiene standards are poor, caries lesions continue to develop and progress throughout life, and with age, dental caries becomes a substantial oral health problem in this population of adult and elderly Chinese, despite the availability of some dental services.

Comparison of Tooth Surface-specific Dental Caries Attack Patterns in US Schoolchildren from Two National Surveys
TL;DR: Differences between the two surveys in the proportions of surfaces with caries were largest for pit and fissure surfaces, followed by those for posterior approximal surfaces and all other smooth surfaces and almost all of these differences were statistically significant, except for some surfaces which experienced very few caries.

TL;DR: The caries susceptibility of tooth surfaces in 4294 adolescents during a 3-yr, double-blind clinical caries trial, conducted in Lanarkshire, Scotland, between 1988 and 1992, showed a low susceptibility, but 8.8% of buccal and palatal pits developed caries.
