“…The prevalence (and incidence) of dental caries in preschool children can be very high, as was illustrated in several studies [1][2][3][4][5]. According to a recent review on dental caries experience in young children, prevalence data for 5-yearolds varied between 29% in Denmark, 39% in Norway, 40% in England and Wales, 43% in Greece and 55% in Scotland [6].…”

The main objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for the incidence of visible caries experience in a cohort of preschool children living in Flanders. Data were collected from 1,057 children; validated questionnaires on oral health-related behaviour were completed by parents at birth (2003)(2004), at age 3 (2007) and 5 years (2009). At ages 3 and 5, the children were examined by trained dentists. Logistic regression analyses were performed with the following as outcome variables: visible caries experience at age 3 and increment in visible caries experience between ages 3 and 5. At ages 3 and 5, enamel and/or dentinal caries experience was observed in 22% and 41% of the cohort, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that the presence of visible plaque accumulation on at least one primary tooth was a significant risk factor for visible caries experience at age 3 and for an increment in caries experience between ages 3 and 5. Children with previous caries experience at age 3 had significantly higher odds for new caries lesions at age 5. Presence of visible plaque and previous caries experience are confirmed as significant risk factors for visible caries experience in preschool children. Interventions aimed at caries prevention should focus on very young children and on the control of plaque accumulation. The presence of visible plaque accumulation as a screening tool to identify young children at risk for future caries experience shows high potential.

“…No Brasil, segundo a Pesquisa Nacional de Saúde Bucal, SB Brasil 2010 7 , 53,4% das crianças apresentavam cárie aos cinco anos, com uma prevalência menor na região sudeste. No Estado de São Paulo, pesquisas realizadas em três cidades do interior paulista (Araraquara, Paulínia e Piracicaba), com crianças com idade entre 4 e 6 anos, mostraram uma prevalência de cárie em torno de 50% [8][9][10] .…”

Objective: To provide information with the purpose of helping pediatricians to recognize the risk factors for the onset of severe early childhood caries, allowing for early intervention and thus avoiding this preventable disease and its consequences.Sources: Information was collected from scientific articles published on the databases SciELO, MEDLINE and PUBMED in last 25 years, as well as technical books and guidelines of international committees. The keywords used were: early childhood caries, severe early childhood caries, dental caries, and children. Summary of the findings:Severe early childhood caries affects infants and children. It is infectious, has a multifactor etiology and fast development, starting soon after dental eruption. Due to the presence of local sociocultural risk factors, it must be regarded as a symptom of alteration in the child's health and lack of adequate care. Its manifestations include pain, abscesses and chewing difficulty, affecting the child's feeding and sleep. Furthermore, it also affects the child's general health, speech, and self-esteem. Conclusions:Preventive methods to avoid severe early childhood caries have been developed and they should be used as early as possible by means of prevention programs carried out in the community and with families. Professionals responsible for providing care to babies and children should be aware of cases at risk for caries and interfere in order to improve their patients' health.J Pediatr (Rio J). 2009;85(4):295-300: Dental caries, children, severe early dental caries.

Caries and its association with infant feeding and oral health‐related behaviours in 3–4‐year‐old Brazilian children

Abstract: The association between the length of time a mother breast-feeds and extensive caries should be a consideration in any local infant feeding policies or health promotion strategies. The duration for appropriate breast- or bottle-feeding should be emphasised.
