Abstract
Early Childhood Caries, (ECC) is an aggressive form of dental caries that begins on tooth surfaces, which are usually spared such as labial surfaces of maxillary incisors. American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) has defined ECC as the presence of one or more carious, missing (due to caries), or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth in a child up to 71 months of age. In children younger than 36 months of age, any sign of smooth-surface caries is suggestive of severe early childhood caries.
