Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to assess enamel defects in 5-10-year-old children born prematurely versus those born full-term, examining 80 children at a hospital in Brasília, Brazil.
- - It found that 75% of the sample had enamel defects, with a higher prevalence of hypoplasia in premature children, and identified a significant link between low weight and enamel issues in the primary teeth of those children.
- - The results suggested that being born prematurely might increase the risk for enamel hypoplasia, while other factors like family income, education, and hygiene habits did not show a significant association with enamel defects.
