Dental caries is considered as one of the most common chronic diseases. The study of prevalence and severity of dental caries conducted in a specific geographic area contributes in constructing necessary plans for treatment and prevention. Aims of this study are to determine the prevalence and severity of early-childhood caries and to define risk factors associated with ECC among Lattakia/ Syrian preschool children. The sample comprised 909 children were divided into three age groups 3-4-5 years. A questionnaire was distributed and contained information on oral feeding habits, socio-economic status and educational Status of the mother. The results, and data analysis showed that the prevalence of ECC for pre-school children was 84.8%, the mean dmft and dmfs score in the group was in 3 years ( 4.09 (5.22=+6.22 & 2.85+=respectively. In 4 years3.43+=4.12) &7.29 += 8.25 ) .In 5 years (4.93 +=4.42 & (11.962+=10.157. The value of the significant caries index SIC was 9.02. We obtained on 492 questionnaire which was observed a significant relationship between ECC and age of children , socio-economic status of the family, the educational status of the mother, feeding habits ( quantity of sweet consumption per day- time of sweet consumed between meals, using baby bottle ). However, breastfeeding and gender didn't have significant effect

Research summary
تعتبر نخور الأسنان من أكثر الأمراض المزمنة انتشاراً، وتساهم دراسة انتشار النخور في منطقة جغرافية معينة في وضع الخطط العلاجية والوقائية المناسبة. تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى تحديد نسبة انتشار وشدة نخور الطفولة المبكرة (ECC) والعوامل المرتبطة بها بين الأطفال في مدينة اللاذقية السورية. شملت العينة 909 أطفال تتراوح أعمارهم بين 3 و5 سنوات، وتم توزيع استبيان حول العادات الغذائية والحالة الاجتماعية والاقتصادية والتعليمية للأم. أظهرت النتائج أن نسبة انتشار النخور بين الأطفال بلغت 84.8%، وكانت متوسطات dmft وdmfs مرتفعة. كما أظهرت الدراسة وجود علاقة جوهرية بين انتشار النخور وعمر الطفل، الحالة الاجتماعية والاقتصادية للأسرة، الحالة التعليمية للأم، نوع الرضاعة، وكمية تناول السكريات وأوقات تناولها بين الوجبات. لم يلاحظ وجود ارتباط جوهري بين الجنس والرضاعة الطبيعية للطفل. توصي الدراسة بزيادة الوعي حول أهمية الأسنان المؤقتة وزيارة طبيب الأسنان بشكل دوري.
Critical review
دراسة نقدية: تعتبر هذه الدراسة مهمة جداً نظراً لقلة الدراسات المنشورة حول نخور الطفولة المبكرة في مدينة اللاذقية. ومع ذلك، هناك بعض النقاط التي يمكن تحسينها. أولاً، كان من الأفضل تضمين عينة أكبر وأكثر تنوعاً من الأطفال لتعميم النتائج بشكل أفضل. ثانياً، كان من الممكن استخدام أدوات فحص أكثر دقة وتكنولوجيا حديثة لتحديد النخور بشكل أفضل. ثالثاً، لم تتناول الدراسة تأثير العوامل الوراثية بشكل كافٍ، وهو ما يمكن أن يكون له دور كبير في انتشار النخور. وأخيراً، كان من الممكن تقديم توصيات أكثر تفصيلاً حول كيفية تحسين الوعي الصحي بين الأهل والأطفال.

Objective: This study aims to determine the prevalence and severity of ECC in 3 to 5 -year children in Lattakia and the correlation of saliva pH, buffer capacity and salivary flow rate with the dental caries. Materials and methods: An epidemiological study of N = 400 children was conducted to determine the prevalence of ECC in Lattakia’s kindergartens and the association between child's gender, age and caries.The salivary tests for N = 40 children, the mean number of teeth, carious surfaces, restored and lost due to caries were measured. Results: The results indicated a high prevalence of Ecc among children (69.8%) We did not find significant differences in dmft, dmfs between children according to gender or age. The adjusted ability of saliva was high for 65% and medium for 35%. On the other hand, it was found that there is an inverse correlation between saliva pH and the studied indicators.
As dental caries are among the most common chronic diseases, the study of their prevalence and severity in a specific population area can contribute to constructing necessary plans for treatment and prevention. This study aimed to assess the rate of prevalence and severity of dental caries in 13 -15 years – old children in Lattakia City and to study the effects of the different factors and their relation to the grade of the severity of the dental caries. The study was conducted on 1680 children. The sample was divided into four main groups, depending on the grade of severity of the dental caries.

Information on oral habits was obtained from the parents through a specially designed questionnaire. A clinical evaluation was also done. Results:.The results showed that the percentage of prevalence of oral habits in Lattakia school children was 36.4% , and mouth breathing (22.8%) which was most commonly seen followed by infantile swallowing (17.3%). Digit sucking was a less common habit seen in only 5.8% .There were no differences in the prevalence of these habits between boys and girls and there were no significant differences according to age . Conclusions: The study showed high prevalence of these oral habits. This highlighted a lack of awareness and care by families related to their children’s oral health as well as the need to improve public health plans for orthodontic prevention so that future occurrence of malocclusion can be avoided.
The number of children with heart diseases in the Syrian society is constantly growing , In view of the importance of oral health and oral manifestations to this group of patients and the difficulties which dentists face in treating them , it is ve ry important to study oral health and the dental caries prevalence.

Malocclusion is considered one of the most prevalent dental problems .This research aimed to study the prevalence of malocclusion states in the Syrian coast community. The sample of study consists of 1200 patients in mixed dentition stage (569 male s – 631 females) with mean age (8.65 ± 1.4 years for male, 8.64 ±1.36 years for females). The study showed a prevalence of malocclusion in about 84.8% of the sample, with about 58.33% for vertical plane malocclusion and 84% for sagittal plane malocclusion, and 37.8% for transversal plane malocclusion. We concluded that it is very important to improve the hygiene awareness between our community population for better prevention and treatment of these problems.
