When the caries experience in the primary
teeth was used to predict future caries of
the same individual, the study found an
overall sensitivity of 93.9%, an overall
specificity of 20.0%, and an overall
positive predictive value of 85.4%. To
answer the question as to which teeth
contribute the most to the positive
predictive value, we repeated the
statistical analyses on subsets of teeth, by
dividing the primary teeth with caries into
different groups: maxillary incisors (4 teeth), maxillary anterior
teeth (6 teeth), maxillary first and second molars (4 teeth),
mandibular first and second molars (4 teeth), and all primary
molars (8 teeth)
