| Abstract |
The objective of this study was to determine the caries experience in a representative sample of infants aged 13-36 months in the federal state of Brandenburg in relation to their parents' health behavior and social status. Calibrated public health service dentists examined 661 children in ten districts according to WHO standards (1997). Data on the parents' health behavior and their social status were acquired via questionnaire. The prevalence of caries was 7.4% on enamel-level (d1-4) and 5.3% on dentin-level (d3-4). The caries experience was 0.3 d1-4mft/0.2 d3-4mft. Fifty-two percent of the total caries burden was concentrated on 2% of the children. The restorative index was 19.9% and the care index 10%, respectively. Children of 25-36 months of age and with a lower social status and those who were bottle-fed at night revealed a significantly higher caries risk (OR 3.84, p = 0.005; OR 7.34, p < 0.0001; OR 2.4, p = 0.022) compared to younger children, children with a higher social status, or those without nocturnal bottle use. Intersectoral prevention programs in day-care centers are the favored preventive approach to compensate the socially determined health inequality. The low care index needs to be communicated with the dental association to improve the accessibility of infants in dental practice. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 November 2013.
All research outputs
#15,284,663
of 22,729,647 outputs
Outputs from Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz
#625
of 921 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#110,281
of 176,060 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Bundesgesundheitsblatt - Gesundheitsforschung - Gesundheitsschutz
#6
of 8 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,729,647 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 921 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.0. This one is in the 23rd percentile – i.e., 23% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 176,060 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 8 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
