The systematic review dealt with the global burden of untreated cavitated dentine carious lesions and covered 187 countries [31]. The age-standardised prevalence of untreated dentine carious lesions in the primary dentition in the global population did not change during the 2 decades and constituted the 10th most prevalent health condition, affecting 621 million children worldwide. There were no significant differences between boys and girls.

Table 2. Median prevalence of cavitated dentine carious lesions in 5- and 6-year-olds, median of mean dmft scores and range interval, and proportion of d-component and range interval by category of country income, using WHO Data Bank data from 2000 to 2015 (data from Frencken et al. [30])

The global age-standardised prevalence of untreated dentine carious lesions in the permanent dentition did not change between 1990 and 2010 and reached a peak at age 25 years, with a second peak at around 70 years of age. There were no significant differences between gender. The authors concluded that untreated cavitated dentine carious lesions in permanent teeth remained the most prevalent health condition across the globe in 2010, affecting 2.4 billion people [31].
