Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Prevalence of dental caries.	measured by counting the number of participants affected by dental caries/total number of study sample X100 , measurement unit is a percentage (%)	12 month
Secondary	Assessment of oral hygiene .	using a Questionnaire (binary' yes or no questions'):-; record child brushing habits(once or twice); consumption of fluoridated water (yes/no).; visits to dentists (yes/no); Also using a dental mirror and a probe to detect presence of plaque (plaque index) and presence of caries (dmf score).	12 month
Secondary	Assessment of dietary habits	questionnaire (binary "yes/no questions")about the past and current feeding habits:-; initial feeding of the child (breast or bottle answered yes/no); length of the breast feeding ( normal '0-2 years" or prolonged ">2years"); usage of bottle after weaning (yes/no). number of meals per day (one,two or three, answered in yes/no manner); number of snacks per day (one,two or three in yes/no answers).; Also using a dental mirror and a probe to detect caries presence (dmf score), higher scores indicates faulty dietary habits.	12 month
