Abstract

Caries risk factors such as the number of microbe CFU in plaque and saliva, the content of inorganic ion in plaque and saliva and the capability of remineralization of the teeth, is responsible to forecast the development of caries to some content. On the other hand, oral health behaviours also make a great deal in the development of caries. While in terms of children, the parents have an enormous effect on their behaviours. In order to help forecasting the development of caries more effectively, this paper makes a review about the influence of oral health behaviour of parents and children to caries risk factors of children.
