Summary

Despite improvements in oral health among children, children living in areas characterized by low socio-economic status still have a significant disease burden with regard to dental caries. Special efforts to prevent disease development in this group of children have been unsuccessful. Small children with extensive treatment needs often have limited abilities to cooperate and to provide quality dental care in this patient group, general aneaethesia (GA) may often be the treatment modality of choice. Preschool children treated under general anesthesia have significantly higher caries prevalence (deft and defs), apical parodontitis and infection due to pulpal necrosis. They also have significantly more emergency visits and previous use of treatment under sedation.

This study aim to test the hypothesis, that a telephone based case management intervention for children with severe early childhood caries can prevent further caries development in preschool children who are treated under general anesthesia for severe early childhood caries.
