ABSTRACT

Dental caries is a common chronic infectious resulting from tooth-adherent cariogenic bacteria, primarily Streptococcus Mutans, which metabolize sugars to produce acid, demineralizing the tooth structure over time.

Dental caries is one of the commonest childhood disease. In general, the prevalence of caries in preschool children seems to be on the decline or the trend has reached a plateau in most of the developed countries, but may be increasing in some developed and several developing countries. A considerable proportion of preschoolers thus are still affected by dental caries.
