The dependent variables were the number of teeth with untreated coronal caries, number of teeth with root caries and the number of coronal and root surfaces with untreated caries. The independent variables were stimulated and unstimulated glandular salivary flow rates along with the age, sex and ethnicity (e.g. <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">E<\/jats:styled-content>uropean or <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">M<\/jats:styled-content>exican ancestry) of the participants.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Coronal caries experience was greater in younger participants while root surface caries experience was greater in the older participants. Coronal caries was lower in the older age groups while the root caries experience increased. Men had a statistically significant (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00.02) higher experience of root caries than women. Values for unstimulated and stimulated parotid salivary flow rates showed no age difference and remained constant with age, whereas the age differences in the unstimulated and stimulated submandibular\/sublingual salivary flow rates were significant.
