Assessment of Calcium-Phosphorus Metabolism in Preschool Children

Early childhood caries (RDC) is growing in many countries and has become a serious health problem, especially among socially disadvantaged segments of the population. ECC is defined as the presence of one or more destroyed, missing or sealed tooth surfaces in any baby tooth in a child aged 71 months or younger. It has several unique clinical characteristics, such as the rapid development of caries, which affects a number of teeth shortly after their appearance in the oral cavity. These lesions affect the surfaces of the teeth, which are less prone to developing caries. Several terms have been used to describe the condition, such as bottle caries, feeding caries, unbridled caries, bottle caries, bottle caries, milk bottle syndrome and long-term caries of breastfeeding habits. ECC is a multifactorial disease that occurs as a result of the interaction of factors including cariesogenic microorganisms, exposure to fermentable carbohydrates due to malnutrition and a number of social variables. ECC is a severe health condition found in children living in socially disadvantaged communities in which malnutrition represents social and health inequalities. ECC is associated with other health problems ranging from local pain, infections, abscesses leading to difficulty chewing, malnutrition, gastrointestinal disorders and sleep problems.
