Abstract

Caries, also known as tooth decay or worm's tooth, is a disease of the oral cavity caused by multiple factors. It is one of the most common diseases of humans worldwide, and the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified it as one of "three major diseases affecting human health" along with tumors and cardiovascular disease. Genetics, the environment, and microorganisms all play a role in the development of its diseases. Caries is the leading cause of tooth loss in children, with a prevalence that is five times higher than that of asthma. It lowers adult life quality by causing pain in the teeth, spoiling their appearance, and making it difficult to replace missing teeth. Preventing and controlling a condition like childhood caries requires an understanding of the elements that contribute to it. This research will conduct a systematic literature review to examine the potential causes of caries in younger children.
