“…Moreover, mild and very mild fluorosis is not a condition that triggers pain or clinical signs 22 . Similar results were observed in a study that evaluated the relationship between enamel defects and quality of life in schoolchildren between 11 and 14 years of age 24 . This result was also observed in individuals with caries, malocclusions, and temporomandibular disorders [25][26][27] .…”

ResumoIntrodução: A fluorose dentária é um distúrbio de alta prevalência decorrente da ingestão de íons fluoretos. Medidas preventivas para evitá-la ainda são controversas. Assim, conhecer o impacto que a fluorose pode causar na qualidade de vida de indivíduos é importante para o planejamento de políticas públicas de saúde. Objetivo: Avaliar o impacto da fluorose dentária sobre a qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal (QVRSB) de crianças e adolescentes. Material e método: Foram avaliados 300 indivíduos na faixa etária de 8 a12 anos. O diagnóstico de fluorose foi realizado segundo o índice Thylstrup e Fejerskov e a qualidade de vida foi avaliada utilizando os questionários de Percepção da Criança 8-10 e 11-14. Foram incluídos pacientes com oito incisivos permanentes com coroas totalmente irrompidase excluídos os que apresentavam restaurações extensas, dentes fraturados, outros defeitos do esmalte dentário e os que usavam aparelho ortodôntico fixo. Os dados foram analisados no programa SPSS  (versão 18; Chicago, IL) e realizaram-se os teste Qui-quadrado, Fisher e Mann-Whitney. Foram considerados significantes valores de p<0,05. Resultado: A prevalência de fluorose foi 64,7%, sendo os graus leve e muito leve responsáveis por 80,3% dos casos. Crianças e adolescentes não tiveram impacto na QVRSB no escore geral e domínios sintomas orais, bem-estar emocional e social (p>0,05). Entretanto, apresentaram impacto no domínio limitação funcional (p = 0,039 e 0,013) para crianças e adolescentes respectivamente). Conclusão: Foi observada associação entre fluorose e qualidade de vida apenas no domínio funcional.Descritores: Fluorose dentária; qualidade de vida; percepção. AbstractIntroduction: Dental fluorosis is a disturbance of high prevalence caused by the ingestion of fluoride ions present mainly in toothpaste. Preventive measures to avoid it are still controversial. Thus, knowing the impact that fluorosis can cause on the population's quality of life it is important for planning public health policies. Objective: To evaluate the impact of dental fluorosis on the quality of life of children and adolescents. Material and method: We studied 300 subjects aged 8 to 12 years divided into 4 groups: children (8-10 years) and adolescents (10 to 12 years) with and without fluorosis. The diagnosis of fluorosis was performed according to the index Thylstrup and Fejerskov and quality of life was evaluated using Child Perceptions Questionnaire 8-10 and 11-14. The socio-demographic characteristics of the patients were also evaluated. For inclusion in the sample, selected patients should present eight permanent incisors with crowns fully erupted. Patients who had extensive restorations, fractured teeth, other dental enamel defects and who wore braces were excluded. Result: Fluorosis was present in 64.7% of the patients analyzed and in most cases (80.3%) was mild or very mild. In children, the average overall score of the questionnaire was 15.9 for the group without fluorosis and 18.3 for the group with fluorosis (p = 0.255). The te...

“…DDE can also affect the esthetics of the maxillary incisors, exerting a negative impact on social and psychological aspects. 13 Thus, diagnosing and understanding the factors associated with DDE may contribute toward the prevention or minimization of adverse outcomes stemming from such defects. 6,14 The present study was designed to evaluate associations between developmental defects of enamel (DDE) in the primary dentition and aspects related to mothers and preschoolers in the city of Diamantina, Brazil.…”

The present study was designed to evaluate associations between developmental defects of enamel (DDE) in the primary dentition and aspects related to mothers and preschoolers in the city of Diamantina, Brazil. A case-control study was carried out involving children aged three to five years. The case group was composed of 104 children with at least one dental surface affected by DDE. The control group comprised 105 children without DDE, matched for gender and age. The diagnosis of enamel defects was performed using the Developmental Defects of Enamel Index. Information was collected through interviews investigating socio-demographic aspects, gestation, birth weight, prematurity and breastfeeding. Simple and multiple regression analyses were performed, providing unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios (Poisson regression). DDE were more prevalent among children who had not been breastfed (PR = 1.57; 95% CI: 1.1-2.2) and those whose mothers were under 24 years of age at the birth of the child (PR = 1.41; 95% CI: 1.1-1.9). The prevalence of DDE in the primary dentition was higher among children who had not been breastfed and those whose mothers were under 24 years of age at the birth of the child.

“…Developmental defects of enamel can have a significant effect on esthetic, tooth sensitivity, tooth wear, and dentofacial abnormalities (2) and have a negative impact on the children's daily performance (3). DDEs have, by some authors, been regarded as the main risk factors for dental caries although its nature has not been identified and its cause is not clear (4).…”

Background: Developmental defects of enamel (DDEs) and dental caries are two prevalent dental conditions that may have major negative impacts on children's quality of life. Fluoride, especially the level of fluoride in water, can influence the occurrence of both dental caries and DDEs. However, data on the extent of this influence on Iranian children has not been explored. Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare DDEs and dental caries in three areas with different levels of fluoride in water among 9-year-old children of the Fars Province, Iran, in order to provide data for oral health preventive programs. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on 400 9-year-old children residing in areas with high, optimal and low levels of fluoride in water of the Fars Province, Iran. Cases with DDE were diagnosed on the standardized one view photographs of the anterior teeth using the modified DDE index. DMFT index was used to evaluate dental caries. The prevalence of children with DDE and dental caries, the mean number of teeth with DDE, and mean DMFT were compared among the three areas by binary logistic and Poisson regressions after adjustment for sex. SPSS software version 22 was used to analyze the data. The significance level was
