Overview

Cross-sectional study assesses prevalence of enamel defects in children born with very low birth weight, highlighting dental care needs.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of enamel development defects reaches 67% in very low birth weight children, indicating a significant health concern.
  • Intraoral examinations identified enamel hypoplasia as the most common defect, particularly in upper incisors.
  • The study involved 93 children aged 12 to 60 months, all born with very low birth weight and monitored at a specialized clinic.
  • The findings call for improved dental care and preventive strategies for this vulnerable population to address potential long-term issues.
