Persistent oral health inequality in children-repeated cross-sectional studies in 2010 and 2019.

Background And Aim: Children growing up in vulnerable circumstances have a higher risk of caries experience. Tracking the development of caries in relation to socioeconomic variables over time is essential for fair resource distribution to groups with higher caries risk and to even out inequalities in oral health. The aim was therefore to analyse the association between 6-year-olds´ caries prevalence and socioeconomic variables at family and residential area levels in 2010 and 2019 as well as potential differences in the association between 2010 and 2019.

Aim: To evaluate an ECC prevention programme from pregnancy to 3 and 6 years of age.

Design: A prospective, controlled, intervention cohort study was initiated in 2013 in a low-SES area in Sweden.
