The surface of the teeth may show the hypoplastic defects because they are erupted lately. This has been seen the children or teenager who have the rampant caries are usually affected from the childhood due to their parents who negotiate on their diet and transit their dietary through bottle feeding or breast feeding, this may affect the childhood taste and the taste of solid diet.
