Materials and Methods: The study has used a clinical method of recording the non-cavitated clinically manifested D1b carious lesions of each participant from both of the examined groups – children with nephrotic syndrome and clinically healthy children. Using the documentary method of an enquiry data about the socioeconomic status of the family, educational qualification of parents, frequency of dental visits of children, and frequency of dental visits of parents were acquired.
