Spatio-temporal trends in caries: A study on children in Berlin-Mitte.
Ae Kyung LeeAnnette AignerTimo SchmidTobias KurthPublished in: Clinical and experimental dental research (2020)
Our findings confirm the spatiotemporally mounting disparities in children's oral health between the quarters in Berlin-Mitte and that particular quarters need urgent attention. The small-area approach made it easier and more effective to reveal the spatial distribution of children's dental caries at the local level. The small-area analysis should be strongly encouraged in future caries research to narrow the inequalities in children's oral health.
