IQR—interquartile range; SD—standard deviation; CI—confidence intervals; DMFT—caries severity index, that is a sum of decayed teeth (DT), teeth missing due to carious process (MT), and teeth filled because of caries (FT); DMFS—a sum of decayed surfaces of tooth (DS), surfaces of tooth missing due to carious process (MS), and surfaces of tooth filled because of caries (FS); GI—gingival index; PlI—plaque index.
