The prevalence and intraoral distribution of decayed and filled root surfaces were evaluated in 55, 65, and 75-yr-old inhabitants of Gothenburg. From randomly selected groups, 88, 72, and 48 dentate persons in the respective age groups participated and as many as 85, 93, and 90% respectively had one or more decayed or filled root surfaces. In the two oldest age groups 32-35% were free from root carious lesions, while 20% had five or more decayed root surfaces. The corresponding figures for the youngest group were 63% and 8%. The prevalence of root surface caries was evaluated using the Root Caries Index (RCI), excluding prosthetic crowns. The mean RCI value increased with age (P less than 0.05, ANOVA on age groups) from 14% to 16% and 22% in the 55, 65, and 75-yr-olds, respectively. The root surfaces of the molars were most frequently affected by caries and fillings, the incisors least frequently. In the maxilla the proximal surfaces were most affected, in the mandible this applied to the buccal surfaces, while the lingual surfaces had the lowest proportion of carious lesions and fillings in both jaws.
