The geodemographic distribution of caries experience in neighboring fluoridated and nonfluoridated populations.

Objective: This study compares the geodemographic distribution of caries experience in neighboring fluoridated and nonfluoridated populations.

Methods: All 5-year-old children living in fluoridated (N=1,422) and nonfluoridated (N=4,779) areas of Cheshire, UK, were examined by trained and calibrated examiners. The Target Market level of the Super Profiles geodemographic classification was used to produce market penetration ranking reports for caries experience.
