The present study was aimed to assess the Erythrocyte sedimentation Rate in children with moderate and severe early childhood caries and compare it. A total of forty children were included in the study who were divided into two groups- Moderate and Severe Early childhood caries. The included children were sent for drawing blood. The data was segregated and tabulated . The parameters assessed were gender , age, Erythrocyte sedimentation Rate and severity of the early childhood caries . Grouping of parameters was done on the excel sheet. The data was then copied into the SPSS 2.0 software and statistical analysis was done. On the basis of gender , it was observed that 71% of the girls had severe early childhood caries and 29 % of the girls had moderate early childhood caries. All the boys included in the study had moderate early childhood caries.On the basis of age ,67.5% of the children were between the age group of 4-5 years out of which 75 % of the children had severe early childhood caries and 25% had moderate early childhood caries. The remaining 32.5% were in the age group of 1-3 years where all of them were affected with moderate early childhood caries. Mean Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate was higher in children with severe Early Childhood Caries(5.65) as compared to children with moderate Early Childhood Caries(4.3). It was concluded that early childhood caries was more prevalent in girls as compared to boys and was more prevalent in an age group of 4-6 years as compared to 1-3 years. The mean value of Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate was found to be higher in children with Severe early childhood caries as compared to children with moderate early childhood caries.
