Background
Early childhood caries (ECC) is a major public health concern influenced by dietary habits, including feeding practices. Human breast milk and infant milk formula are primary sources of nutrition for infants, but their cariogenic potential remains a subject of debate. This in vivo study aims to compare the cariogenicity of human breast milk and infant milk formula in children by assessing dental plaque accumulation and Streptococcus mutans colonization.
