Abstract Investigations on caries profile and state of teeth treatment were made on 3752 high school pupils of 16–18 years, namely, rural and urban Black, Indian, Colored (Eur‐African‐Malay) and White pupils. Rural Blacks had a low mean DMFT of about 2, and a caries‐free prevalence of 52%. Of the few with affected teeth, 10% were extracted, none filled, and 90% decayed; i.e. restorative dental attention was virtually nil. Among English and Afrikaans pupils attending Government Schools, mean...
