The prevalence of developmental defects of enamel obtained in this study is 9.8% lower than the values in the studies described in the literature. The correlation of developmental defects of enamel with antibiotics administered in the first year of life revealed a relative risk of 1.66 times higher, that after four years of administration to reach a relative risk of over two times higher.
