Dental caries in permanent teeth · Nigerian individuals with permanent dentition (approximately 12 years and older)
In permanent dentition, high-frequency sugar consumption was associated with non-significant 15% higher odds of caries (OR 1.15, 95% CI 0.88 to 1.52), with no heterogeneity (I2=0%; ungraded).
