Distinct patterns of caries, erosive tooth wear, and hypomineralization in preschool children: a population-based study of associated factors.
Among 5–6-year-old German children, caries affected 29%, erosive wear 70%, and hypomineralization 11%, with largely independent distributions; caries showed stronger links to sociodemographic disadvantage and health factors, while erosive wear and hypomineralization had more limited associations.
