Early childhood caries (ECC) is the currently accepted term used to describe dental caries occuring in infants and toddlers. ECC is a multifactorial,
transmissible and infectious disease. The microflora, suger substrate, saliva and succeptible tooth tissues are key factors involved in
the pathogenesis, together with the immature host defence system and developing bacterial flora. Immature enamel and developmental
defects of enamel are the next important etiological factors together with economical, social, cultural and behavioral aspects. Affection
of many teeth, rapid development of lesions and caries in tooth surfaces mostly very resistant are characteristic clinical symptoms of ECC.
