Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the type of deciduous teeth with hypoplasia and enamel hypocalcification in low birth weight children. Material and Methods: Low birth weight baby is a neonate born with birth weight below 2500 grams. This was a clinical epidemiologically designed cohort study involving examination of hypoplasia and enamel hypocalcification in 147 low birth weight children in Child Health Department Hasan Sadikin Hospital Bandung, aged 9-48 months and 350 normal birth weight children as control group. Hypoplasia was diagnosed when there were pits and grooves on the surface of teeth, and hypocalcification was diagnosed when the teeth showed opacity. The examination was done prospectively for 6 months with 3 months intervals. Results: The incidence of both enamel hypocalcification and hypoplasia in deciduous teeth is higher in low birth weight children (p<0.01). Conclusion: The deciduous teeth of low birth weight children were more likely to have hypoplasia/hypocalcification, especially the first incissor tooth of the upper and lower jaws. Hypoplasia and hypocalcification, occur during a critical phase within the intrauterine developmental period and affect different types of teeth differently, possibly due to their different time of development.
