Epidemiological Profile of Children With Early Caries.

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The objective of the study is to determine the different profiles of patients with early caries consulting at the Lille CHU and to analyse the characteristics associated with the severity of the pathology. The data will be collected using a simple clinical examination of the child and a survey of the parent using a questionnaire. The typology of patients with early caries will be analysed according to the predefined variables collected using the questionnaire via a main component analysis in order to study the links between these variables. At the same time, a hierarchical classification analysis will be carried out to study the existence of homogeneous sub-groups of individuals in regard to the early caries. These sub-groups will be described
