Objective: To explore the risk factors of rampant caries in order to provide suggestion to prevention and clinical treatment.
Methods: A case control study and logistic regression were performed to observe some variables that possibly related to rampant caries in children on the base of a field survey.
Results: The risk factors of rampant caries were incepting cariogenic foods too much and bottle feeding with sugar containing bovine milk. The risk of suffering from rampant caries also increased with duration of breast feeding.
Conclusion: Incepting cariogenic foods too much and unappropriate patterns of infant feeding were the important risk factors of rampant caries.
