Minerals and Vitamins Levels in Children with Enamel Hypoplasia

Objective: The present study aimed to estimate the deficiency levels of minerals and vitamins in children with enamel hypoplasia. Materials and Methods: Blood samples were collected from 100 children (50 with and 50 without enamel hypoplasia). The samples were then analyzed. Results: The mean differences of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium levels of children with enamel hypoplasia were significantly lower (P≤0.05) than those in the control group. Similarly, the mean differences of vitamin D3, A and K2 in children with enamel hypoplasia were significantly less (P<0.01) than children in the control group. Conclusion: Enamel hypoplasia could result from deficiency in one or more of some minerals and vitamins, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D3, vitamin A, or vitamin K2.
