“…Although enamel hypoplasia has been confirmed as an independent risk factor for caries, the causal relationship with dental caries has not been established. Low socioeconomic status, poor parental education, and life style factors have significant influence on ECC (67). Leroy et al (68) reported a significant relationship between parental smoking habit and caries experience children.…”

Early childhood caries (ECC) is major oral health problem, mainly in socially disadvantaged populations. ECC affects infants and preschool children worldwide. The prevalence of ECC differs according to the group examined, and a prevalence of up to 85% has been reported for disadvantaged groups. ECC is the presence of one or more decayed, missing, or filled primary teeth in children aged 71 months (5 years) or younger. It begins with white-spot lesions in the upper primary incisors along the margin of the gingiva. If the disease continues, caries can progress, leading to complete destruction of the crown. The main risk factors in the development of ECC can be categorized as microbiological, dietary, and environmental risk factors. Even though it is largely a preventable condition, ECC remains one of the most common childhood diseases. The major contributing factors for the for the high prevalence of ECC are improper feeding practices, familial socioeconomic background, lack of parental education, and lack of access to dental care. Oral health plays an important role in children to maintain the oral functions and is required for eating, speech development, and a positive self-image. The review will focus on the prevalence, risk factors, and preventive strategies and the management of ECC.

This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between parenting styles and childhood dental caries using a sample of 3 to 6 years old children in Korea.The subjects were 158 children aged 3 to 6 years old and their parents in Korea. The parenting styles were divided into three groups (authoritative, authoritarian, and permissive) using a translated version of the Parenting Styles and Dimensions Questionnaire (PSDQ).Among the 353 parents/child dyads, 158 questionnaires were returned. Authoritative parenting style was the majority (95.6%), followed by authoritarian (3.8%), and permissive (0.6%). There were no statistically significant differences between dental caries and parenting styles. The mean of dft index in authoritative group was lower than others. In the authoritative domain, the higher the authoritative tendency, the lower the dft index.Overall, authoritative parenting styles resulted in low rates of dental caries for the children. The stronger the authoritative tendency of the parents, the lower the experience of dental caries in the children. Therefore, parenting styles were likely to affect the oral health of a child, but it seemed necessary to supplement the evaluation tool to evaluate the parenting styles.

“…13 Some studies have investigated patterns of toothbrushing and toothpaste usage among children who were below six years of age and the level of parental knowledge about their children's oral health care, 14,15 as well as how parents perform oral hygiene practices. 16,17 However, there is limited literature about this topic. More researches are necessary to guide parents in relationship to children's brushing.…”

RESUMO Introdução: O flúor pode prevenir a cárie dentária, porém, especialmente em crianças menores, é importante equilibrar o efeito anticárie dos dentifrícios fluoretados versus o risco de fluorose dentária. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar o conhecimento e atitudes de pais e cuidadores sobre os hábitos de escovação de seus filhos de 12 a 71 meses de idade, bem como verificar seu conhecimento sobre flúor e quantidade utilizada de creme dental. Métodos: Um roteiro de entrevista semi-estruturado foi aplicado a uma amostra de conveniência de pais e cuidadores (n=63) na Clínica de Odontopediatria de uma universidade pública. Solicitou-se que os entrevistados simulassem a quantidade de creme dental utilizada na escovação de seus filhos. Os resultados foram apresentados de forma descritiva com frequências absolutas e relativas. Resultados: Quanto à supervisão da escovação, 49,2% realizavam a higienização de seus filhos; 31,7% mencionaram que as próprias crianças escovavam sob supervisão de um adulto, e 19,1% responderam que seus filhos escovavam sozinhos. Quando perguntados como aprenderam a dispensar dentifrício na escova, 54% afirmaram que nunca foram orientados. Em 74,6% dos casos, a quantidade dispensada superou a dose recomendada para pré-escolares. Ademais, 57,1% relataram que o dentifrício fica ao alcance da criança. Dos entrevistados, 66,7% apontaram o papel do flúor na prevenção da cárie e 73% desconheciam sua toxicidade. Conclusão: Em geral, os entrevistados praticavam bons hábitos de escovação em seus filhos. Entretanto, a maioria da amostra estudada não utilizou a quantidade apropriada de dentifrício para a idade e desconhecia a toxicidade do flúor, apesar de identificar sua finalidade.
