title: The presence of dental fluorosis in the permanent dentition in Doha.
abstract: The main purpose of this study is to draw attention to the presence and the severity of dental fluorosis in Doha (Qatar) through the high level of registered cases of fluorosis found among the groups examined. Of 4800 people aged 8-50 years, 2654 (55.29%) had dental fluorosis of some degree. This problem urgently requires more studies throughout the country to provide an accurate assessment.
