Dental caries. Some factors related to their appearance in children
Keywords:
Dental caries, risk factors, enamel remineralizationAbstract
The knowledge of the factors related to the appearance of dental caries is necessary due to thefact that it is a common health problem in the population of all ages. A case-control study was
conducted in Matanzas during the academic course 2004-2005, aimed at determining the
association of some of these risk factors with the appearance of dental caries. The study group
was composed of 11 311 children aged 6-12. A sample of 900 was selected from them by a
polystage sample design. The high capacity of resistance to the acid attack in the control group (57.2 %), compared with that of the cases (20.3 %), was underlined. The positive association
of dental caries with the enamel resistance, its remineralization capacity, as well as with the
white lesions and the enamel abnormalities, was established.
