  1. 0–6 = ICDAS scores; EX = indicated for extraction/extracted tooth due to caries; R = restored surface. * Lesions were clinically classified into dentine only if a shadow was observed under enamel (even without dentine exposure)—cavities exposing dentine were not considered in these analyses
  2. The italics values highlighted columns correspond to the surfaces on which were considered progression
