Resumen
Objetivo: Seleccionar y analizar hallazgos recientes de la literatura sobre fluorosis dental (FD) en niños. Métodos: Para esta revisión integradora, se construyó una estrategia de búsqueda para la base de datos Pubmed en marzo de 2025, utilizando los descriptores dental fluorosis, mottled enamel, enamel defective y dentistry, combinados con operadores booleanos. Se seleccionaron artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años con el objetivo de recopilar las evidencias más recientes sobre la temática. Resultados: Luego de la lectura del título, resumen y/o texto completo, se incluyeron 23 estudios. El 60,86% de los estudios evaluaron factores de riesgo, causas y prevalencia de la EF y el 21,73% de los estudios tuvieron como objetivo discutir características y gravedad de la EF. El artículo más antiguo se publicó en 2020 y el más reciente en 2025. Consideraciones finales: La mayoría de los artículos publicados en los últimos cinco años presentan un diseño observacional y abordan la temática de la epidemiología. Aunque el flúor es esencial para la prevención de la caries dental, la literatura recomienda el control de su ingesta. Se requieren investigaciones futuras que aborden las lagunas del conocimiento existentes para explorar estrategias de tratamiento y seguimiento de la FD.
