It is important to know what is the prevalence and severity of caries in children between 2 and 5 years of age, to contribute with the necessary elements in planning educational interventions that favor the development of oral health.

According to the severity criteria of the ICDAS code, it was determined that the CO of the American headquarters was 06 in teeth 85 with 44% and in southern hills 05 in teeth 74 with 59%.
