A parent or a caregiver was asked to complete a questionnaire regarding information about the child, the household, and oral hygiene. The prevalence and patterns of dental caries including pit and fissure caries, facial\/lingual caries, molar proximal caries, and facial\/lingual molar proximal lesions, were analyzed. Each child was classified as caries free or as having one of these four caries patterns.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:\u2002<\/jats:bold> Weighted mean deft was 0.14 at age 2, 2.58 at age 3, 4.41 at age 4, 6.94 at age 5, and 7.31 at age 6. Weighted mean defs was 4.71, 8.44, 16.45 and 18.64 at ages 3, 4, 5, and 6, respectively. By age 2, 5.09% of children had caries. By age 6, 89.38% of children had caries. By age 3, 30.02% of children fitted the facial and lingual pattern of caries and by age 6, 52.90% of children fit the \u2018facial\u2010lingual and molar\u2010proximal\u2019 pattern, indicating extensive smooth surface decay. The total prevalence of early childhood caries was 56%. Multivariate\u2010adjusted odds ratios identified factors associated with the high caries experience of the young children and found caries was strongly associated with the lack of proper tooth brushing and high consumption of sweets. Higher caries scores were also associated with areas of low urbanization.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:\u2002<\/jats:bold> The findings of this survey indicated a high level of untreated
