Background. Home visits (HV) provide excellent opportunities for health promotion.
Aim. This longitudinal study compared the effects of HV and telephone contacts (TC) in preventing early childhood caries (ECC) and colonisation of mutans streptococci (MS) and lactobacilli (LB) from 0 to 24 months.
Design. A total of 325 children were recruited from community health centres at mean age of 42 days, and randomly assigned to receive either HV or TC. A total of 188 children completed three, 6 monthly HV, and another 58 had three, 6 monthly TC. An additional 40 age‐matched children from childcare facilities served as reference controls (RC). At 24 months, all groups were examined at a community dental clinic.
Results. At 24 months, three HV children of 188 (1.5%) had caries, compared to four TC of 58 (6.8%) and nine RC of 40 (22.5%) (P |

At 24 months, all groups were examined at a community dental clinic.
Results. At 24 months, three HV children of 188 (1.5%) had caries, compared to four TC of 58 (6.8%) and nine RC of 40 (22.5%) (P < 0.001 for HV versus RC; P = 0.05 for HV versus TC and P = 0.03 for TC versus RC). There were also more children with MS in the TC (47%) and RC (35%) compared to HV (28%) group (P = 0.01 and P = 0.02).
Conclusions. Home visits and telephone contacts conducted 6 monthly from birth are effective in reducing ECC prevalence by 24 months.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0960-7439</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1365-263X</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-263X.2011.01219.x</identifier><identifier>PMID: 22251427</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Oxford, UK: Blackwell Publishing Ltd</publisher><subject>Adult ; Bacterial Load ; Bottle Feeding ; Cariostatic Agents - therapeutic use ; Case-Control Studies ; Child, Preschool ; Dental care ; Dental caries ; Dental Caries - prevention & control ; Dentistry ; Female ; Fluorides - therapeutic use ; Follow-Up Studies ; Health Behavior ; Health Education, Dental ; Health facilities ; Health Promotion ; House Calls ; Humans ; Infant ; Infant, Newborn ; Lactobacillus - growth & development ; Lactobacillus - isolation & purification ; Longitudinal Studies ; Male ; Medical research ; Oral Hygiene - education ; Pediatrics ; Streptococcus mutans - growth & development ; Streptococcus mutans - isolation & purification ; Telephone ; Tooth - microbiology ; Toothbrushing - methods ; Toothpastes - therapeutic use ; Treatment Outcome</subject><ispartof>International journal of paediatric dentistry, 2013-01, Vol.23 (1), p.23-31</ispartof><rights>2012 The Authors.
