Relationship between dental caries and risk factors for atherosclerosis in Swedish adolescents'
Abstract In an earlier study on a selected group of adolescents with high caries prevalence we found dietary habits that resembled those considered to promote the development of atherosclerosis. In the present study we have compared DMF‐score with factors traditionally associated with the risk for d...
