ABSTRACT:

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the treated and untreated severe early childhood caries (ECC) in primary molars in children would make any impact on the Permanent First Molar (PFM) decays. Place and duration of study:This study carried out in University Medical and Dental College Faisalabad in duration of one year from 2018 to 2019 Materials and Methods:For this project 2,315 boys and 2,153 girls were examined for primary molar caries and the time of emergence of permanent first molar, during their primary school time by trained dentist-examiners; at baseline the mean age of the children was 7.1 years. Results:The analyses revealed that girls were more susceptible to caries development;this gender effect was only significant for mandibular molars. An affected second primary molar had more effect than a first primary molar Conclusion: In respect to our research outcomes, which revealed that regardless of treated or not severe ECC had a significant impact on the PFMs, we strongly recommend that the parent of the children experiencing ECC should be informed about the risk of future caries in PFMs.
