Abstract
The most common infectious disease affecting the children worldwide is dental caries. It affects children of all races, castes, and creeds. Refined diet and improper oral hygiene increase the risk of caries in children. Meticulous clinical examination and diagnosis of dental caries are an integral part of a comprehensive treatment plan. The factors to be considered include the developmental status of the dentition, caries-risk assessment, the patient's oral hygiene, anticipated parental compliance and likelihood of timely recall, and the child's ability to cooperate for treatment. Restorative science is undergoing great revolutions that are leading the humanity toward a new era of dentistry.
