Topic: Management of Early Childhood Caries (ECC): how far can a general dental practitioner go?”

Abstract:

Early Childhood Caries (ECC) is a specific form of tooth decay affecting the primary dentition. It can result in a considerable suffering and disfigurement and frequently compromises the future dentition.  The Prevalence of ECC in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) is very high. ECC is a chronic, transmissible infectious disease affecting the primary teeth. The etiology of the condition is a combination of frequent consumption of fermentable carbohydrates as drinks, especially when a baby is sleeping, with on-demand breast- or bottle-feeding, oral colonization by cariogenic bacteria (especially mutans streptococci), poor oral hygiene and poor parenting. There are different treatment options for ECC depending on severity of the decay, patient’ age and cooperation, it may require full dental rehabilitation under general anesthesia by a pediatric dentist.

Learning objectives:
