Summary

In this cross sectional epidemiological study, we aimed to report the prevalence of early childhood caries (ECC) in children attending kindergartens in Jordan, and its associated risk factors. We also, aimed to determine the effectiveness of silver diamine fluoride as a caries control material and its acceptance among parents of children with ECC. Children (n=887) with mean age 4.64 ± 1.56 were examined. Among this sample there was a number of children (n=159) who were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial to study silver diamine fluoride efficacy in caries control. The sample consisted of two groups; the study group (children who received single spot application of 38% SDF) and control group (children who were examined only).
