Oral Health-Promoting School Environments and Dental Caries in Quebec Children

摘要

Introduction: Dental caries are highly prevalent among children and have negative health consequences. Their occurrence may depend in part on school-based environmental or policy-related factors, but few researchers have explored this subject. This study aimed to identify oral health promoting school environment types and estimate their relation with 2-year dental caries incidence among Quebec children aged 8-10 years.
