Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Early childhood caries (ECC) is a serious and common public health problem affecting young children across the globe. It is prevalent in both developing and developed countries. ECC starts and progresses rapidly in high-risk children. It can lead to various physical, psychosocial and financial consequences for the child and their family, leading to compromised quality of life. There are some factors unique to this type of caries due to the developmental stage and dependence of the child on the mother or caretaker for feeding and oral hygiene practices. The faulty feeding practices can affect the primary dentition severely. ECC also indicates higher risk of caries development in later stages of life.
The disease can be challenging to manage in advanced stages due to limited specialized personnel and resources and behavioral management problems in young children. An effective prevention protocol is our best tool to manage this disease, reducing the burden the healthcare system and society.
