The relationship between dental caries and dental fluorosis in areas with moderate‐ and high‐fluoride drinking water in Ethiopia

Abstract

The present findings indicate that the second molar is the tooth most severely affected by dental fluorosis and dental caries. Dental caries increased with increasing severity of dental fluorosis, both in moderate- and high-fluoride areas. Thus, a positive relationship between dental caries and dental fluorosis was observed across various tooth types, in both areas.
