A Reviewon Dental Carries in Children

Gyanendra kumar Gupta, Gagan Devi

Abstract


Dental caries is one of the most prevalent chronic diseases in man, worldwide. It is a multifactorial disease that starts with microbiological shifts within the complex biofilm (dental plaque). It is therefore of the utmost important to prevent the caries disease, but this will not be successful unless the available scientific knowledge relating to ways of changing the etiological factors of the disease is applied. However, there are still a number of issues and conditions associated with caries in children and adolescents which are not completely understood. Further it was pointed out that parents’ attitudes to dental health and psychosocial factors during early childhood have an effect on approximal caries in children.
