Overview

Critical review shows possible links between medication exposure and enamel defects in children, highlighting gaps in causal evidence.

Key Points

  • Possible association between medication use and enamel defects in children, particularly with amoxicillin usage.
  • Of 1,362 studies reviewed, only 10 cohort studies were eligible, indicating a limited body of evidence in this area.
  • A systematic approach following PRISMA guidelines ensured a thorough examination of existing literature.
  • Further well-designed observational studies are needed to clarify the connection and inform pediatric dentistry practices.
