Data were collected via questionnaires, referred to children\u2019s oral health behaviours, and a 24-h diet recall. Diet was analysed using a Minute Acid Score (MAS), a Diet Score (DS) based on the Food Frequency Questionnaire, a Food Frequency Questionnaire Score, and the mobile application (APP) \u201cDental Diet\u201d. The children were clinically examined by a calibrated paediatric dentist to assess dental caries experience (dmft\/DMFT- ICDAS criteria). Pearson correlation and logistic regression models were used to detect relations between the different dietary analysis methods and dental caries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Odds Ratio for caries in all age groups was 1.12\u20131.22 for the APP, 1.01 for MAS, 0.87\u20131.19 for FFQS and 0.86\u20131.49 for DS.
