Table 1. Percentage distribution of 12-year-old adolescents with at least one tooth with PFS and DMFT experience.

The p-value was calculated using the nonparametric test for trends across ordered groups: p=0.509.

*% of sealants=percentage of 12-year-old adolescents with at least one tooth with PFS.
