Abstract | AIM: DESIGN: A census was carried out with 610 schoolchildren aged 6 to 12 years. The European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry criteria, Thysltrup and Fejerskov index, and World Health Organization index were used for diagnosis of MIH, dental fluorosis, and caries detection, respectively. The association between the outcome and exposure variables was determined by robust Poisson regression (P < .05). RESULTS: Water F-levels varied from 0.06 to 1.98 ppm. MIH was not related to fluoride levels in the drinking water, but it showed an inverse and direct correlation with dental caries and fluorosis, respectively. Children with MIH had a higher DMFT, and severe MIH cases were most frequent in children with dental fluorosis. CONCLUSION:
