“…There are no differences in the incidence of caries on the mesial and distal surfaces of the first and second molar. 14,21 In the present study, the incidence of dental caries on the proximal surfaces of the molars was higher. In the maxilla and mandible, caries mostly involved distal surfaces of the first molars than mesial surfaces.…”

“…12 In accordance with previous findings it was found that tooth decay in young children mainly occurs on occlusal surfaces. 12,14,18,23,25,29 In these children, a small number of proximal surfaces are affected by caries, and if the disease develops, it begins after reaching complete contact between the first and second molar, at the age of 3.5 years. There are no differences in the incidence of caries on the mesial and distal surfaces of the first and second molar.…”

Background. Analysis of the results of epidemiological studies of Polish children showed that caries in children can occur very early, and their incidence and intensity increase with age. According to an epidemiological study, 53.8% children at the age of 3 reported an average of 2.4 tooth decay. There is insufficient information about the intensity of decay, the pattern of caries in primary dentition and the treatment undertaken in the group of 3-years-old children with tooth decay.

“…The prevalence (and incidence) of dental caries in preschool children can be very high, as was illustrated in several studies [1][2][3][4][5]. According to a recent review on dental caries experience in young children, prevalence data for 5-yearolds varied between 29% in Denmark, 39% in Norway, 40% in England and Wales, 43% in Greece and 55% in Scotland [6].…”

The main objective of this study was to identify the risk factors for the incidence of visible caries experience in a cohort of preschool children living in Flanders. Data were collected from 1,057 children; validated questionnaires on oral health-related behaviour were completed by parents at birth (2003)(2004), at age 3 (2007) and 5 years (2009). At ages 3 and 5, the children were examined by trained dentists. Logistic regression analyses were performed with the following as outcome variables: visible caries experience at age 3 and increment in visible caries experience between ages 3 and 5. At ages 3 and 5, enamel and/or dentinal caries experience was observed in 22% and 41% of the cohort, respectively. The multivariable logistic regression analyses revealed that the presence of visible plaque accumulation on at least one primary tooth was a significant risk factor for visible caries experience at age 3 and for an increment in caries experience between ages 3 and 5. Children with previous caries experience at age 3 had significantly higher odds for new caries lesions at age 5. Presence of visible plaque and previous caries experience are confirmed as significant risk factors for visible caries experience in preschool children. Interventions aimed at caries prevention should focus on very young children and on the control of plaque accumulation. The presence of visible plaque accumulation as a screening tool to identify young children at risk for future caries experience shows high potential.
