ABSTRACT
The findings for enamel defects in the primary dentition of a group of low birthweight (LBW) children were related to their perinatal medical histories. Examination of 110 LBW children and 93 control children aged 5 years showed that significantly more of the LBW children (71%) had hypoplasia than controls (15%), but there was no difference in opacities alone (LBW 25%, control 26%). In the LBW group, defects were seen more often in children classified as ill during the perinatal period, who received ventilator support or intravenous alimentation and in those children born at less than 32 weeks gestation, compared to the LBW children without these perinatal problems. It is speculated that the high incidence and the cause of enamel defects in sick preterm infants may be due to oxygen deprivation and mineral substitute depletion.
