Summary

This study looks at how common cavities are in the first permanent molars of 6- to 7-year-old Egyptian children and whether diet and tooth-brushing habits play a role. Researchers will examine 272 children's teeth and ask parents about their child's eating and oral hygiene routines. The goal is to uncover risk factors that could guide better prevention strategies for early childhood tooth decay.
