Abstract
MOLINA ESCRIBANO, Antonia; LOPEZ GARVI, Antonio J.; LOPEZ IBANEZ, Catalina and SAEZ CUESTA, Úrsula. Nursing bottle caries. Rev Clin Med Fam [online]. 2008, vol.2, n.4, pp.184-185. ISSN 2386-8201.
Nursing bottle caries is a quick and aggressively developing disease that affects primary dentition of very young children fed with a nursing bottle for longer than recommended. These lesions are caused by the milk or other sugared liquids held for a time inside the childs mouth and deficient oral hygiene and can result in severe caries. In this article we present this condition in a three-year-old child and we analyze its etiology and consequences.
Keywords : Dental caries; Dentition primary.
