An epidemiological study of a representative sample of 702 children, aged 6 to 15 years, was conducted in the Languedoc-Roussillon region composed of the departments of Aude, Gard, Hérault, Lozère and Pyrénées Orientales. The mean DMFT at 12 years of 4.21 was always higher in girls (5.13) than in boys (3.46) of the same age. The DMFT was lower in urban areas than in rural zones, but the difference was only statistically significant at 11 years of age. The pits and fissures were the most caries-affected sites (67%) followed by proximal (22%) and smooth surfaces (11%). The plaque index varied from 0.94 to 1.23 between 6 and 15 years. The calculus index increased with age from 0.20 at 6 years to 0.60 at 15 years. The gingival index passed from 0.28 to 0.51 between 6 and 15 years.
