Introduction: Many scientific studies have evaluated the general development of children with early childhood caries (ECC). The results of these studies may vary, between the lack of association of this disease with alterations in the general parameters of growth and the presence of significant modifications of these parameters but none have previously been performed in Romania. Aims: To compare the anthropometric indices (Ponderal, Statural, and Nutritional) of two groups of preschool children with/without (severe) early childhood caries
