title: ["Nursing bottle syndrome" in young children. Dental findings, incidence and family environment].
abstract: 436 children affected by the "nursing-bottle-syndrome" visiting the paedodontic-consulting-hour of the "Zentrum für Zahn-, Mund- und Kieferheilkunde" in Giessen with their parents from 1981 to 1983, were examined for temporary-tooth destruction by caries. In addition, social factors, causing the bad habit of excessive prolonged drinking from nursing-bottles over a time longer than the first 12 months, were found with the help of a questionnaire for the parents. Finally, the knowledge of the patients residences allowed an estimate of the number of children concerned in the Federal Republic of Germany.
