Abstract
Investigation of 82 2‐ to 3‐year‐old children born pre‐term and 39 healthy full‐term controls showed that enamel mineralization defects were significantly more common in the pre‐term group than among the controls. Pre‐term delivery per se does not seem to be the direct cause of enamel mineralization defects, but rather it seems that common complications such as asphyxia and/or hyperbilirubinemia explain the increased incidence in children born pre‐term.Keywords
