Dental caries is the most prevalent chronic disease worldwide (60‐90% of school children)
From 1990 to 2010 the regional average increase in DALYs from burden of dental caries was between 42% and 78%*
Burden for periodontal disease increased between 68% and 75%, while the global average increase was 57%
Globally, about 30% of people aged 65–74 have no natural teeth
