The results of this study were in accordance with several previous studies.10,21,38,39 Sankeshwari et al38 reported significant correlations between risk of ECC and sucrose exposure between meals and the total frequency of sucrose exposure. Leroy et al10 reported that drinking at night had a significant, positive association with visible caries in 3-year-olds in a multivariable analysis. Schluter et al39 reported that 4-year-old children snacking or drinking prior to bed had an increased odds ratio of fillings and/or extraction compared to those who neither snacked nor drank before bed
