The NOCTP emphasizes mechanical plaque control and considers the eruption period of molar teeth as a risk factor. The mean DMF-S among 18-year-olds in 1999 and 2000 in Nex\u00f6 was 1.23 \u00b1 2.26 and 1.25 \u00b1 2.01 (medians 0); 55 and 56% had DMF-S = 0. The mean numbers of sealed surfaces were 4.6 \u00b1 3.25 and 4.0 \u00b1 3.22, respectively. The cost per child per year was marginally and significantly reduced in the years with the NOCTP compared to that before 1988 (p = 0.05). In 4 comparison municipalities with very low caries experience, mean DMF-S scores among 18-year-olds in 1999 were 2.73\u20133.25 (medians 1\u20132) and were significantly higher than in Nex\u00f6 (p &lt; 0.001). The NOCTP differed from the preventive programmes used in the comparison municipalities in the period 1988\u20131999 in emphasising care for the erupting molars, the use of a firm guideline and stated goals to be achieved, but with less emphasis on diet. The effectiveness and performance of the NOCTP were both considered high, as very low DMF-S and high %DMF-S = 0 had been achieved by 1999, and 18-year-olds in Nex\u00f6 had significantly less caries than in the comparison municipalities. The latter difference could not be explained by difference in caries-related background variables.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000088180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,24]],"date-time":"2005-10-24T08:16:59Z","timestamp":1130141819000},"page":"455-467","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":62,"title":["Outcomes of a Non-Operative Caries Treatment Programme for Children and Adolescents"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"39","author":[{"given":"K.R.","family":"Ekstrand","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M.E.C.","family":"Christiansen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-051X.1974.tb01248.x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1998.tb01954.x"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000261350"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1991.tb00099.x"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1034%2Fj.1600-0528.2003.00016.x"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000069021"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000016564"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1981.tb00341.x"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1985.tb00425.x"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000260987"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1973.tb01055.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000261116"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109%2F00016359209012747"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000065960"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159%2F000260628"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1997.tb00909.x"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1600-0528.1998.tb01960.x"}],"container-title":["Caries Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/88180","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/88180","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T03:29:05Z","timestamp":1745465345000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000088180"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2005]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2005,12,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000088180","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0008-6568","1421-976X"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0008-6568","type":"print"},{"value":"1421-976X","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2005]]}}}
