TLDR
A very high rate of S-ECC was observed, and oral health may be influenced by social factors, as well as environmental factors.Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence and social risk factors of severe early childhood caries in three-year-old children in Northern Thailand, using a birth-cohort study The data utilized in this study were from the prospective cohort study of Thai children (PCTC) from the 28 to 38 weeks gestational age until the children reached the age of 36 months (N = 597) in Mueang Nan district, Northern Thailand. Questionnaires were administered at different time points and dental examination was conducted at the age of 3 years of the child. 44.1 % of the 3 year old children had S-ECC. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, environmental factors (the use of rain or well water as drinking water, no schooling of mother of child, being male), and risk behaviour (sleeping with a bottle at 30 months) were associated with S-ECC. Further, in bivariate analysis, psychological distress in the mother, lack of spousal relationship support, suckle to sleep when going to bed, introduction of soft drinks at 12 months, having had more frequently sweet food, and less than daily tooth brushing before 30 months were associated with S-ECC. A very high rate of S-ECC was observed, and oral health may be influenced by social factors.read more

TL;DR: The evaluation of genetic and proteomic markers represents a promising approach to predict the risk of ECC before its clinical manifestation and from there to plan efficient therapeutic interventions for ECC in its initial stages, avoiding irreversible dental cavitation.

TL;DR: In this paper , a cross-sectional study was carried out in four random preschools in the Jerusalem Governorate of the Occupied Palestinian Territories, where all children aged 3-5 years old in the selected schools were screened for ECC using the decayed, missing, and filled teeth index (dmft).

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-analysis of breastfeeding and ECC in the context of early childhood caries, which highlights the need to understand more fully the role of breastfeeding in the development of ECC.

Early Feeding Practices and Severe Early Childhood Caries in Four-Year-Old Children from Southern Brazil: A Birth Cohort Study
TL;DR: Early feeding practices which represent risk factors for caries severity in subsequent years are identified and may contribute to developing general and oral health interventions, with special attention to families with low maternal education.

Feeding habits and severe early childhood caries in Brazilian preschool children.
TL;DR: It was concluded that night-time breast-feeding in children older than 12 months of age, the use of a bottle at night as a substitute for the pacifier, and use of the bottle on demand during the day are feeding practices correlated with the etiology of SECC.

Pattern and severity of early childhood caries in Southern Italy: a preschool-based cross-sectional study
TL;DR: Results of the study demonstrate that even in Western countries ECC and S-ECC represent a significant burden in preschool children, particularly in those disadvantaged, and that most of the known modifiable associated factors regarding feeding practices and oral hygiene are still very spread in the population.
