: The most common index used to measure "Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth."
The results of this 2007 study were striking. They found that in subjects under the age of 20, dental health was similar between northern and southern Finland. However, significant "north-south regional differences" emerged in adults. In the north, adults had a higher number of restored surfaces (over 40 by age 40), and a sharp increase in tooth extractions began around age 45. In the south, the extraction rate didn't increase until around age 70. This study confirmed that regional disparities still existed and showcased the power of automated, longitudinal data in dental epidemiology.
The most common of these is the DMFT (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) index. Looking back at data frameworks established around 2007 provides clear insight into modern dental trends: Index Focus (2007 Era) Public Health Outcome index of teeth 2007
The 2007 Dental Paradigm Shift: Understanding the PUFA Index of Teeth
Marked a shift toward tracking early childhood caries (ECC) in developing nations. : The most common index used to measure
The World Health Organization (WHO), in 2007, formally recognized the escalating global burden of oral diseases and called for enhanced, data-driven action. This official recognition amplified the importance of indices like DMFT as essential tools for governments and health organizations to plan effective public health strategies. At the same time, researchers were actively investigating whether these indices could be measured more efficiently on a large scale using digital records.

In January 2007, filmmaker Mitchell Lichtenstein premiered the horror-comedy Teeth at the Sundance Film Festival. The movie explores the ancient, cross-cultural myth of vagina dentata —the folklore concerning women possessing teeth in their genitalia. Societal Impact
: The film stars Jess Weixler as Dawn O'Keefe, a chaste teenager who discovers she has a physical "adaptation"—teeth in her vagina—after being sexually assaulted. It is widely interpreted as a feminist subversion of the horror genre, focusing on female agency and the "monstrous feminine".
