| Summary: | Dental caries is a multi-factorial disease that involves tooth structure, oral microbiota, and dietary carbohydrates, ‘tooth decay” result in the dissolution of the mineral content of teeth and must be thought of as dependent on its key contributing factors. It affects many people, including children. Indonesian launched national health program. “The Indonesia Free of Dental Caries in 2030”. Manf efforts should be done to reach a goal. One of them is by understanding the dental caries in children. The current paradigm for management of dental caries is evidence-based and favors non-invasive therapies to prevent and/or arrest the progression of the disease, with traditional surgical intervention reserved for circumstances of irreversible tooth structure loss.Prevention and management of dental caries today will depend heavily upon oaccurate/ regular caries risk assessment, appropriate behavior modification, and judicous use of non-invasive evidance-based modalities like flouride and sealants to prevent and arrest acurate caries lesions. |
