Even though the rate of dental caries in American children decreased dramatically throughout the 20th century, it still is the most prevalent childhood disease. As with general health, oral health status tends to vary in the United States on the basis of sociodemographic factors. Caries risk assessment is one of the most important goals of a child's initial oral examination. This manuscript will provide readers with general information regarding early childhood caries, its pattern, and the restorative and preventive needs of children affected by it.
尽管在整个20世纪美国儿童的龋齿发病率大幅下降，但它仍然是最普遍的儿童疾病。与总体健康状况一样，美国的口腔健康状况往往因社会人口因素而有所不同。龋齿风险评估是儿童初次口腔检查的最重要目标之一。本手稿将为读者提供有关幼儿龋齿、其模式以及受其影响儿童的修复和预防需求的一般信息。
