The aim of the present study was to examine the histopathological features of dental caries in fluorosed deciduous enamel and to compare these with caries in non-fluorosed deciduous teeth. Polarized light examination of ground sections from twelve teeth showed lesions of uniform pattern in the non-fluorosed material, but a more varied and complex picture in fluorosed tissue. The surface zone appeared wider in particular towards the occlusal part of the lesion. Within the lesions there was great variation in mineral loss with distinct ‘laminations’.
