“…9,30,40 Malnutrition may cause enamel hypoplasia, and just like iron deficiency anemia, it may lead to reduced salivary secretion and low buffering capacity. 7,11,24,35,42,43 Childhood malnutrition is still a major problem in Brazil, especially in the North and Northeast regions, 44 which may contribute to a larger number of decayed teeth in these regions. The mean DMFT (number of deciduous teeth that are decayed, extracted or indicated to be extracted and filled) at the age of five years in the North region is approximately 27% higher than the mean for the Southeast region.…”
