Brief Summary:
Objective:
The aim of this study is to assess the effectiveness of an oral health educative intervention in preventing early childhood caries (ECC).
Methods:

Twenty-four public health centres (clusters) were randomly selected and assigned to intervention or control group (12 clusters per intervention group). In each center, up to 30 children/mothers were selected and invited to participate in the trial. Each mother was interviewed in order to collect socio-economic and demographic variables.
