The research was divided in three studies. The first study was a prospective observational cohort study, with two hundred children participants in the program, who were assigned into two groups: G1 - children that joined the program during the first year of life (n=126); and G2 - children that joined the program between 13 and 18 months (n=74). In this study, the children were examined every three months until they were 48 month old. Dental caries incidence/children’s age was statistically correlated to assiduity, cariogenic diet, day/night oral hygienic and night breastfeeding variables. The data were analyzed using the Chi-Square and Fisher’s tests. Survival univariate (Kaplan-Meier) and multivariate (Cox) analysis were carried out, with 5% significant level. The second and third studies evaluated 465 children including the 200 who participated in the cohort study. The children were assigned into three groups: G0 – babies whose mothers joined the program when still pregnant (n=50); G1 – babies that joined the program during the first year of life (n=230); and G2 – children that joined the program between 13 and 18 months (n=185). The data was collected through tactile and visual clinical examination by a calibrated investigator (k>0.8). The parents also answered a questionnaire including questions about the children’s diet habits, day and night hygienic habits, night feeding habits, parents’ education level, social economical condition, and children’s behavior during home and professional treatment...
