Dental health of schoolchildren attending HS and FS in the REK is significantly poorer compared to the general population. This suggests that both these groups belong to population-subgroups with an increased risk of developing caries. In order to improve this situation, caries prevention measures should be implemented beyond primary school age in children attending these 2 types of school.
