description Objective: Estimated the caries risk of children under 5 years of age in the urban area of the northern sector in Quito, Ecuador. Materials and methods: The sample consisted by 102 pairs; child and parents and / or representatives, who have been accepted a prior informed consent, they were subjected to the management of caries by risk assessment survey (CAMBRA) to determine the risk of presenting caries in their children.
