| Popis: | To determine the prevalence of nonfluoride enamel hypomineralization in the permanent first molars, we examined 488 7– to 13–year–old children.

Nonfluoride hypomineralization(s) were seen in 94 children (19.3%). The severity of defects varied from mild lesions with local color change to more severe ones where the hypomineralized tissue had been replaced by a restoration or the tooth had been extracted. Further examination of 65 children with nonfluoride hypomineralization showed that the defects had significantly increased the treatment need of the target teeth compared with the age– and sex–matched controls (p |
