El presente trabajo pretende evaluar el nivel de conocimiento y la actitud de los médicos pediatras respecto a la caries de la primera infancia, dando el primer paso para sugerir que las instituciones y organizaciones de salud pública asuman la responsabilidad en la enseñanza de esta enfermedad, en la formación de los médicos y especialmente en los especialistas en pediatría con el objetivo de reducir la prevalencia de esta enfermedad.

Nowadays, even the presence of a complex oral micro-flora, it is possible to cure Acute Linphoblastic Leucemic patients. Upon 200 different species have been isolated, the majority is transient, and just 20 are resident species. Our investigation analyzed 106 LLA patients treated in the Neoplasic Diseases Peruvian Institute (INEN) since January to December 2001, whit the aim to state the oral micro flora, emphasizing in the opportunistic species that may cause systemic pathologies. It consisted in a retrospective clinic histories review, the data included age, sex, laboratory tests such as Hemogrham and Mieloghram. The microbiologic analysis was performed at the beginning of the hospitalization before receiving chemotherapy. The samples were processed in the INEN microbiologic laboratories, using Blood Agar for the primary isolation of all microorganisms ; Azida Agar for Gram (+) coccus;...

Since 1950, the investigations of Cox, Dean and Armstrong Iead to conclude that fluoride increased the resistance to dental caries but produced fluorosis in high concentrations (over 1 ppm ). Nowadays, in spite of the varied lines of research based in caries prevention methods, none of them has overcome Fluoride as a cheap, inoffensive and efficient method for this purpose. A review about FIuoride as an Early Childhood Dental Caries preventive method is presented, focused in fluoride varnishes. We also show the scheme of Fluoride application.
