REV CLÍN MED FAM 2008; 2 (4): 184-185184 RESUMEN La caries del biberón es una enfermedad de evolución rápida y agresiva que afecta a la dentición temporal de niños de muy corta edad en los que la alimentación con biberón se ha prolongado más allá del tiempo recomendable. El estancamiento de la leche o de otros líquidos azucarados en la boca del niño, unido a la falta de higiene oral, produce este tipo de lesiones, que dan lugar a una odontodestrucción severa. En el presente artículo presentamos el caso de un niño de tres años de edad que padece la citada patología y hacemos un análisis de sus causas y consecuencias. Palabras clave. Caries dental. Dentición primaria. ABSTRACT Nursing bottle cariesNursing bottle caries is a quick and aggressively developing disease that affects primary dentition of very young children fed with a nursing bottle for longer than recommended. These lesions are caused by the milk or other sugared liquids held for a time inside the child's mouth and defi cient oral hygiene and can result in severe caries. In this article we present this condition in a three-year-old child and we analyze its etiology and consequences.
