Description
Summary:Introduccion: Early childhood caries (ECC), according to the criteria obtained in this bibliographic review work, and its relationship with breastfeeding (BF), has been a highly debated topic among various authors, including the results of a large number of studies have aimed at conclusions that could be considered contradictory to each other, such as the protective effect of “Breastfeeding” in the prevention of the development of ECC. Bearing in mind the role that “Breastfeeding” plays in the development of dental caries throughout childhood is important to help oral health professionals and parents of infants to prevent EEC during this stage of life, which can contribute to the comprehensive development of pediatric patients. Objective: Establish, based on a bibliographic review, the correlation between BF and the development of caries. Material and Methods: Biliographic review. Results: Breast milk contains immunological components that create an unfavorable environment for the development of bacterial strains in the oral cavity, it promotes the remineralization of tooth enamel surfaces, in children who are breastfed, it is less than in those who are not, therefore that LM works as a protection factor that minimizes the risk of dental caries formation. Conclusions: Based on the results of the present research work, it can be concluded that there is no positive correlation between BF and ECC, both are independient variables.
