Recent researches in animals about correlation between decay and sugar, pointed out that frequency of assumption is more important than quantity. The Authors want to have a confirm examining 1810 5-years-aged children, pointing out the relationship among beverages, sugar-containing foods and dmft index.

The frequency of sugar containing food assumption seems to be strictly related to dental caries improvement and to the reduction of dmft = 0 cases.
