Abstract

According to the information available on the prevalence of early childhood caries in the United States and other industrialized societies and given the focus of this disease on poor children and minorities, pediatric dentistry has been focused on it. A pediatric dentist should be aware of the new challenges in keeping children free from dental caries in childhood. Today, we believe that on one hand the dental diseases, and on the other hand their prevention and control, are highly influenced by factors that are beyond the biological bacterial, sugars, and tooth factors in the Keyes interaction model.
