The European Academy of Paediatric Den-tistry (EAPD) encourages prevention and arrest of active dental caries. Therefore, the present guidance provides evidence- and clinically-based recommendations for detecting and diagnosing early/non-cavitated caries lesions, risk assessment and disease management.
15 mar 2019 · Meta-analysis revealed that the strongest risk factors found in the high-income countries were presence of dentinal caries (dmft greater than zero; odds ratio [OR] equals 4.21 [2.18 to 8.16]) and high levels of mutans streptococci (OR equals 3.83 [1.81 to 8.09]).
Factors included the following: age, socioeconomic status, frequency of and supervised toothbrushing, fluoride exposure, breast- and bottle-feeding, feeding habits, absence of a dental home, past caries experience, active non-cavitated lesions, visible plaque, enamel defects, and microbiome. Conclusion.
Introduction: A systematic review of evidence on the impact of modifiable risk factors on early childhood caries (ECC) was conducted to inform recommendations in a World Health Organization manual on ECC prevention. Objectives: To systematically review published evidence pertaining to the effect of modifiable risk factors on ECC.
8 sie 2023 · Cariogenic Microorganisms. Streptococcus mutans and Streptococcus sobrinus are the main bacteria found in early childhood caries. [6] [7] Lactobacilli also play a role in the progression of caries, but not in their initiation. The bacteria consume and metabolize carbohydrates like sucrose, fructose, glucose and produce lactic acid.
15 maj 2021 · Conclusions: The potential risk factors for early childhood caries are enamel defects, high levels of mutans streptococci, the presence of dentinal caries, increased consumption of soda, daily intake of sugary snacks, and obesity.
