Original language description
Background: Early childhood caries prevalence in the Czech Republic is reported to be about 20%.

Design: A total of 127 pairs of mother/child were invited to participate in the study. After filling in the questionnaire, 94 children (mean age 11.15 months, SD=2.724) were orally examined and their dental status(dmft) was recorded. Saliva and dental plaque samples were taken both from children and their mothers and assessed for the presence of mutans streptococci (Dentocult? SM Strip mutans). SPSS Statistics 21, IBM Corporation, 2011 was used.
