The author studied the prevalence of proximal dental caries of deciduous molar by observing intraoral radiographies of 478 children aging from 2 to 5 who visited the Dep. of Pedodontics, Seoul National University Hospital. The following results were obtained; 1. The prevalence of proximal caries of deciduous molar did not show significant difference between male and female, right and left side. 2. Mandibular deciduous molar had higher prevalence than maxillary deciduous molar. 3. The prevalence was increased with age. 4. The prevalence was highest in the distal surface of lower 1st deciduous molar and lowest in the distal surface of upper 2nd deciduous molar.
