Present data from Hungary show some slight decrease in caries experience between 35-44 years of age, although this positive tendency has not been occured in prevalence of edentulousness in this age group. A positive tendency could be experienced in the group of 65-74 year olds in edentulousness and in number of teeth, but further efforts are needed to reach a better situation
