Resumen
La caries de la infancia temprana se define como la presencia de una o más piezas dentales cavitadas o no cavitadas, perdidas u obturadas en la dentición decidua en niños menores de 71 meses de edad siendo una enfermedad crónica de rápida progresión que tiene como consecuencias en los niños problemas de alimentación, deterioro en la calidad de vida, potencial para aumentar su riesgo de caries en la dentición permanente, etc. El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar los factores que influyen en el desarrollo de esta patología. Se realizó una investigación bibliográfica de tipo cualitativo, descriptivo, transversal y no experimental. Se realizó una búsqueda en los diferentes motores de búsqueda como PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, Repositorios Universitarios, etc. Se concluyó que la caries de la infancia temprana es una enfermedad que se desarrolla en las superficies dentales lisas, la cual es ocasionada por factores como malos hábitos alimenticios, colonización bacteriana, deficiente remoción de placa bacteriana, entre otros. Esta afección muestra un patrón característico relacionado con la secuencia de erupción dental, siendo el tratamiento más eficaz la promoción y prevención de salud bucodental
Early childhood caries is defined as the presence of one or more cavitated or non-cavitated, lost or filled teeth in the deciduous dentition in children under 71 months of age, being a chronic disease of rapid progression that has as consequences in the children feeding problems, deterioration in quality of life, potential to increase their risk of cavities in permanent teeth, etc. The objective of the present investigation was to determine the factors that influence the development of this pathology. A qualitative, descriptive, cross-sectional and non-experimental bibliographic research was carried out. A search was carried out in the different search engines such as PubMed, Scielo, Google Scholar, University Repositories, etc. It was concluded that early childhood caries is a disease that develops on smooth dental surfaces, which is caused by factors such as bad eating habits, bacterial colonization, poor removal of bacterial plaque, among others. This condition shows a characteristic pattern related to the sequence of dental eruption, being the most effective treatment the promotion and prevention of oral health.
