Early childhood caries in Anguilla, British West Indies.
The prevalence, severity, and distribution pattern of early childhood caries (ECC) among Anguillian children aged 24-71 months are described. The results show that teeth and surfaces affected by caries vary by age, suggesting that age and morphological considerations play a role in the etiological models proposed to explain susceptibility.
