A study of the caries experience of children with tetracycline-affected, but not hypoplastic, dentitions showed significantly lower DMF surface scores for the complete dentition, deciduous molars, and first permanent molars in comparison with paired control dentitions. Tetracycline and fluoride appeared to have an additive effect in lowering caries experience.
