Abstract

Dental caries continues to be the single most common chronic disease of infancy and one most widespread pathologies in the world. In Italy recent studies showed that 22% of 4-year old and 44% of 14-year-old suffer from dental caries. In industrialized nations this trend appears to be decreasing in 6-19-year old. Dental caries is increasing by 15.2%, according to recent epidemiological studies (2007), in children aged 2-5 years, in Milan, in the north-east of Italy, regrettably in the news, as the main site of the Covid-19 outbreak, last March 2020.
