| Abstract: | "Early childhood caries (ECC)" is a highly prevalent disease affecting the primary teeth of the young pediatric population in their preschool age; hence, a significant public health concern worldwide. ECC is multifactorial in etiology, and several factors have been related to its occurrence. In recent years, scientific studies have continuously been conducted and published related to new emerging risk factors or determinants, aspects, and their impact on the occurrence and elevated prevalence of ECC. The current, in-depth understanding, knowledge, and advancements about the multifaceted nature of ECC etiology and its linkage with the latest multiple factors are considered pivotal in terms of its effective prevention, control, and management. Hence, the present comprehensive review article aims to extensively explore, appraise, and showcase the significant and relevant findings of the recently published studies. This narrative review article was prepared in compliance with the SANRA checklist/guidelines. An exhaustive search of the latest scientific literature from electronic online databases, namely "PubMed/Medline," "Scielo," "Cochrane," and "Lilacs" using free text words/keywords/MeSH terms and their combination using Boolean Operators was executed. Manual/hand searching for studies/records related to the topic from Google Scholar and some dentistry journals was also done. Various factors, facets, and their influence on ECC occurrence and prevalence in the young pediatric population reported by recent studies have been illuminated in descriptive/narrative fashion under suitable headings in the discussion section.
