Produktbeschreibung
Early Childhood Caries (ECC) remains a sizable and
significant public health problem in developing
countries and among minorities in developed
countries. So far, findings on the interplay of
various factors and their impact on ECC are
controversial. The high public cost of treating ECC
implicates a crucial need for prevention of disease.
The WHO Global Strategy for the prevention and
control of non-communicable diseases highly
recommends that oral health promotion and oral
disease prevention should be integrated into broader
health promotion. The present study, therefore,
tries to focus on recognition of the complexity of
the etiology of ECC by addressing a more
comprehensive set of factors that may contribute to
ECC. The study also evaluates the impacts of an oral
health educational intervention as part of general
health services throughout infancy and toddler
stages on ECC prevention. The intervention may be
especially useful to be carried out in countries
with young population and developing oral health
services.
