Oral epidemiological examinations provided individual\u2010level outcomes: prevalence of dental caries in the primary (among 5\u2010 to 8\u2010year\u2010olds) and permanent dentitions (9\u2010 to 14\u2010year\u2010olds). Socioeconomic status, oral health behaviours and practices and dietary patterns were explanatory factors at the individual\u2010level, school\u2010level and area\u2010level fluoridation status. Three\u2010level multilevel multivariable models were sequentially specified for the prevalence of dental caries to estimate prevalence ratios (PR) associated with explanatory factors, adjusting for covariates and between\u2010 and within\u2010group variances. Population attributable fraction (PAF) was estimated as the population impact of the statistically significant explanatory factors.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Data from 2214 5\u2010 to 8\u2010year\u2010olds and 3186 9\u2010 to 14\u2010year\u2010olds from 207 schools in 16 areas were analysed. The prevalence of dental caries in the primary and the permanent dentitions was 47.1% (43.9\u201350.4) and 38.8% (36.1\u201341.6), respectively. The highest prevalence of dental caries was observed in the nonfluoridated areas. In bivariate associations, factors at three levels were associated with prevalence of dental caries. In the full models, children in the nonfluoridated areas had significantly higher prevalence of dental caries [PR for the primary: 1.29 (1.11\u20131.50); PR for the permanent 1.49 (1.01\u20132.21)] compared with children in fluoridated areas, controlling for other factors.
