The mean number of teeth which are either actively decayed and require treatment or which have been treated for decay by filling or extraction only in those children who have some experience of dental decay, i.e. the total dental decay experience (current and past) in children who have had some dental decay experience.
To provide standardised, information about dental decay levels among child age cohorts using population representative random samples.
This indicator has been discontinued and so there will be no further updates.
