Abstract

The study aimed to assess oral conditions other than caries and gingival inflammation present in the mouth of children from birth to 5 years old attending a Community Dental Program. Data were collected through the examination of all dental records, who attended the clinic from November 1997 until November 1999. A total of 1042 records were examined. The results showed that 97.7% of the patients had no lesions present in the mouth during the visits to the clinic, while 2.3% who presented did have lesions. The conditions most frequently found were: Bohn’s nodules, candidiasis and benign migratory glossitis.
