“…Basic research aimed at seeking potential new agents for the use of caries prophylaxis by inhibiting the development and metabolism of cariogenic biofilms is important in the face of the non-decreasing problem of childhood caries [1,[17][18][19]. In addition, knowledge about the relationship between the development of secondary caries and diet [20], as well as the reduction of cariogenic sugars' (e.g., sucrose) consumption, is important to develop new strategies for preventing this disease and plan healthcare in particular groups of patients.…”

Secondary caries is a disease associated with the formation of biofilm on the border of the tooth and dental filling. Its development is strongly influenced by the dietary sweet foods and the type of dental material. The aim of the study was to assess the effect of sweeteners on the ability of clinical Streptococcus mutans strains to form biofilm on dental materials. Strains were isolated from plaque samples from 40 pediatric patients from the 3–6 ICADS II group. The ability to form biofilm was tested on composite and glass ionomer dental materials used for milk teeth filling in the presence of sucrose, xylitol, sorbitol, and erythritol. The bacterial film mass after 12, 24, 48, and 72 h and the number of bacterial colonies significantly decreased (p < 0.01) compared to the initial value for 5% erythritol and sorbitol on examined materials. A greater inhibitory effect was noted for glass ionomers compared to composites. Sucrose and xylitol supported biofilm formation, while erythritol had the best inhibitory effect. The use of fluoride-releasing glass ionomers exerted an effect synergistic to erythritol, i.e., inhibited plaque formation and the amount of cariogenic S. mutans. Selection of proper type of dental material together with replacing sucrose with polyols can significantly decrease risk of secondary caries development. Erithritol in combination with glass ionomer seems to be the most effective in secondary caries prevention.

“…The prevalence rate of ECC in Indonesia was reported to be 90% for 5-year-old children in 2018 [ 23 ]. Indonesia is a middle-income country with 262 million inhabitants from more than 300 ethnicities and spread over 17,744 islands.…”

“…Nonetheless, these approaches, which include topical fluoride, sealants and SDF programs, are not yet included in a nation-wide program due to limited resources. As one strategy, the Indonesian Government implemented the National Health Insurance scheme, the world's largest social health insurance, which was initiated to improve access to health care for of all citizens including children in remote and disadvantaged communities [ 23 ]. The prevalence rate of dental caries is high among Indonesian children due to various factors including frequent sugar consumption.…”

Aim: Early childhood caries (ECC) has significant public health implications but has received inadequate global attention. There is limited information regarding the success of oral health policies implemented to address the challenges of ECC. This review aimed to summarize such policies to tackle ECC from different countries/regions.Method: Independent collaborators from 14 countries/regions (Australia, Brazil, Cambodia, China, Hong Kong, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Japan, Nigeria, Thailand, UK, USA, and Venezuela) collected the data. The ECC status, dental workforce, oral health policies on ECC prevention in different countries/regions were summarized by each country.Results: The findings indicated that ECC prevalence varied in different countries/regions. The lowest prevalence of ECC among 5-year-old children was found in Nigeria (7%), and the highest was found in Indonesia (90%). The existing dental workforce and resources are limited in most countries. The smallest dentist to population ratio was reported by Nigeria at 1:48,400, whereas the highest ratio was in Brazil (1:600). Out of 14, three (21%) countries namely India, Venezuela and Cambodia had no national oral health policies addressing ECC and four (29%) countries (Cambodia, China, India, Venezuela) had no publicly funded dental care program for 0–5-year-old children. Water fluoridation is available in four countries/regions (Australia, Brazil, Hong Kong, USA).Conclusion: ECC remains a global health challenge and dental workforce is limited. National/regional programs to tackle ECC are not yet prioritized in many countries/regions. Evidence to support demonstration projects is limited. Further research on the cost-effectiveness of interventions strategies is required for policymakers.

“…The economic crisis and the lack of public health programmes affect the availability of both food and oral hygiene resources. High values of DMFT (Decayed Missing Filled Teeth) in countries such as Israel, Syria, Perù, and Serbia are linked to the lack of free distribution of fluoride toothpastes and toothbrushes in the poorest communities, and, in Syria, there is the economic crisis that has caused an increase in sugar intake and an increase in the barriers that families face for the availability of fresh food and oral hygiene products; studies carried out in Perù also highlight poverty, sugar intake, and a low literacy rate, which all encourage the increase of ECC in children [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ].…”

Dental caries is one of the most common diseases—both in adults and children—that occurs due to the demineralization of enamel and dentine by the organic acids formed from bacteria present in dental plaques through anaerobic metabolism of dietary sugars. The aim of this article is to provide a guideline to assess the risk of caries by looking for the main factors involved. Literature research was performed for studies that analyzed the factors most involved in the development of child caries, such as poor oral hygiene, bad eating habits (or food disorders), and an alteration of the oral bacterial flora—with an increase of Streptococci spp., Lactobacilli spp., Candida albicans, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Candida sake. It is therefore essential to assess the risk of caries in children, based on the assessment of risk factors, in order to be able to establish preventive and/or therapeutic approaches that will reduce or stop the development of dental caries. The use of fluoride products, products made from casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate, substituted zinc biomimetic hydroxyapatite products, or products containing self-assembling oligopeptide SAP-P11-4 are useful. In terms of the clinical approach, a communicative approach should be added to learn about the eating habits and the oral hygiene habits of the child and parents; in addition, the use of a simple method to frame the factors involved, and subsequently establish the risk of carious lesions in the child, allows the reduction of the DMFT (Decayed Missing Filled Teeth) or ICDAS (International Caries Detection and Assessment System) index on large scales.
