Recruiting

• Conditions: Dental Caries

• Registration Number: NCT04195607
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Lille

Brief Summary

The objective of the study is to determine the different profiles of patients with early caries consulting at the Lille CHU and to analyse the characteristics associated with the severity of the pathology. The data will be collected using a simple clinical examination of the child and a survey of the parent using a questionnaire. The typology of patients with early caries will be analysed according to the predefined variables collected using the questionnaire via a main component analysis in order to study the links between these variables.
