The oral examination using the CAST index and the Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified (OHI-S) performed by trained dentists in 2017 and 2019 calibrated with an expert (Kappa of 0.89 and 0.76, respectively).  A 3-day food record was used to record sugary snacks consumption. Oral health related knowledge of the parents was assessed using a valid and reliable self-administered questionnaire.

The annual caries incidence rate was 0.16 and 53% (95% CI 47.4\u201358.9) of the children developed at least one new dental caries (enamel or dentine) during two years. Multi-variate analysis revealed that the children of mothers with high school education or diploma (IRR\u2009=\u20091.47, 95% CI 1.02\u20132.12; p\u2009=\u20090.04) and those with low socio-economic status (IRR\u2009=\u20091.86, 95% CI 1.27\u20132.73; p\u2009&lt;\u20090.001) were more likely to develop caries.
