ABSTRACT

The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) as the presence of one has defined caries in the primary dentition in English known as Early Childhood Caries (ECC) or more cavitated lesions or white spot or clogged surface of any primary tooth in children between 0 and 5 years. Objetive: To determine the presence of caries in the primary dentition, in children from 1 to 5 years of age, who attended for consultation at the healthy children mbulatory of the University Hospital of Caracas, during the months of January to June during the year 2014. Materials and methods: We conducted a prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study and assessed index dmf of 561 children aged 1 to 5 than they went to request any type of treatment. Results: The prevalence of caries was 80.6%. The index average dmf for women was: dmf = 7.78 and for men: ceo = 7.58. 65,95 (370) % of children presented some sort of prior treatment. The most affected age group corresponded to 3 years old. Conclusion: The results indicate a high caries experience in the population studied.
