[The] dmft index has been used to measure the prevalence of caries activity. Teeth which were missing due to trauma or congenitally absent teeth were excluded from the data processing; therefore, they did not contribute to the final score. Missing teeth were counted only when their loss was due to caries. 4, record 2, English, - decayed%2C%20missing%20and%20filled%20teeth%20index
