Any sign of caries on smooth surfaces in children under the age of three, indicates a dental caries in primary teeth. Objective: To realize a literature review of the prevalence, severity, and lifestylerelated nature of early childhood caries in the years 2015 to 2020. Materials and methods: It was realized through a subjective investigation based on the variables that were found in scientific magazine articles between the years 2015 to 2020; taking into consideration the prevalence, severity and life style with respect to early childhood caries. Results: It was evidenced that the average age in terms of prevalence of dental caries in primary teeth. was between 3 and 6 years old; in 3 year olds it was approximately 50.8% and in 5 year olds it was 87.3%. Approximately 63% of school children between the ages of 2 and 6 had at least one tooth with signs of either cavitated or non-cavitated caries. Concerning the demographic location, it was observed that infants in rural areas have a caries prevalence of 70%, compared to 45% in urban areas. The prevalence of caries in overweight children was 95%, compared to underweight children, and growth retardation. Conclusion: The saccharolytic diet, prolonged breastfeeding and poor oral hygiene are the main risk factors associated with early childhood caries.Resumen Introducción: La caries de la infancia temprana (CIT) es la presencia de uno o más dientes cariados (cavitados o no), ausentes (debido a caries), o restaurados en la dentición primaria, en niños de edad preescolar, es decir, entre el nacimiento y los 71 meses de edad. Cualquier signo de caries en superficies lisas en niños menores de tres años, nos indica una CIT. Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de literatura prevalencia, severidad de caries de infancia temprana y su relación con el estilo de vida en los años 2015 a 2020. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó mediante un investigación subjetiva basada en las variables que fueron encontradas en artículos de revistas científicas entre los años 2015 a 2020; teniendo en cuenta la prevalencia, severidad y estilo de vida con respecto a la caries de infancia temprana. Resultados: Se evidencio que la edad promedio en cuanto a prevalecía de CIT fue entre los 3 y los 6 años de edad; en los infantes de 3 años fue del 50,8% aproximadamente y en los niños de 5 años fue del 87,3%. Aproximadamente el 63% de los escolares entre las edades de los 2 a 6 años presentaban al menos un diente con signos de caries ya sea cavitada o no cavitada. Con respecto a la ubicación demográfica, se observó que los infantes de zona rural presentan una prevalencia de caries del 70%, con respecto a un 45% de la zona urbana. La prevalencia de caries en niños con sobre peso fue de un 95%, con respecto a los niños que presentaban bajo peso, y retraso en el crecimiento. Conclusión: La dieta sacarolitica, la lactancia materna prolonga y la deficiente higiene oral, son los principales factores de riesgo asociados con la caries de infancia tempranaspaAcceso abiertoPalabras claves: caries dental, infancia temprana, Streptococo mutans, lactancia materna y sacarosa.Trabajo de grado (Pregrado y/o Especialización)Keywords: tooth decay, early childhood, Streptococcus mutans, breastfeeding and saccharoseinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Abed, R., Bernabe, E., & Sabbah, W.
