“…The results from the present study overlap with those of Tapias and Simratvir. Thus, in 2001, Tapias found a direct relationship between the use of cephalosporins and the development of DDE in the permanent dentition [ 37 ], as did Simratvir, who reported in 2011 a case of generalized hypoplasia of permanent teeth, having as a possible cause long-term use of cephalosporins [ 5 ]. A study conducted by Laisi disproved the hypothesis that the presence of DDE would be the consequence of the use of cephalosporins [ 36 ].…”

Background: Developmental defects of enamel (DDE) are frequently encountered in primary and permanent teeth, yet their etiology is not completely known. Enamel hypoplasia is considered a predisposing factor for early caries. The objective of this study was the evaluation of several risk factors potentially causing DDE and the possible association between DDE and dental caries. Methods: This study was performed on a group of 213 rural children from Romania. It combined a thorough dental examination for all children, and a questionnaire filled in by their mothers, regarding the evolution of their pregnancy and the child’s health status in the first years of life. Results: There was no statistically significant association between DDE presence and data regarding the evolution of pregnancy, mothers’ health status or children’s conditions during early childhood. There was a significant association between the use of amoxicillin, ibuprofen, and cephalosporin during the period of formation of permanent teeth, and one environmental factor (water source), and the presence of DDE (Chi Square, p < 0.05). Also, DDEs were associated with the presence of caries (Fisher, p = 0.001). Conclusions: Children who consumed water from private wells and children who received medication during early childhood developed more enamel defects, presenting a higher risk of caries development.
