Abstract
Background. Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most common dental problems among infants and preschool children. Worldwide, 514 million children suffer from temporary dental caries, which is 43% of the child population.
Objective: to increase the prevention of dental caries in Chinese and Russian preschool children by identifying and eliminating risk factors for caries.
Materials and methods: the study included 273 children aged 1-6 years, who were divided into groups depending on the territorial feature. After a comprehensive dental examination, groups of children with and without carious process were formed. The children’s representatives were asked to fill out a questionnaire from the 4th National Oral Health Survey in China, adapted for our study. Based on the results obtained, we have formed and developed an algorithm for preventive dental care for children with early childhood caries, tested at the affiliated hospital of the University of Taian in Shandong Province.
Conclusion: the multi-step algorithm developed by us highlights the crucial role of continuous monitoring and support in the prevention of caries in preschool children.
