To assess the degree of fluorosis, the Dean Index was used, and for self-esteem, the Rosenberg Scale was used. The technique employed was observation using a validated data collection instrument. It was found that, among the 8 patients with grade 1 dental fluorosis, 37.5% had low self-esteem, another 37.5% had high self-esteem, and 25% had medium self-esteem. This suggests that among patients with grade 1 dental fluorosis, there is a balanced distribution between low and high self-esteem levels. Among the 28 patients with grade 2, 60.7% had medium self-esteem, indicating that most presented at this level. Among the 11 patients with grade 3 fluorosis, 54.5% had low self-esteem, showing the highest correlation. Among the 8 patients with grade 4 fluorosis, 87.5% had low self-esteem, representing the highest frequency. Finally, among the 5 patients with grade 5 fluorosis, 80% had low self-esteem, showing the highest correlation at this level. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between dental fluorosis and self-esteem level (p-value = 0.000 < 0.05).
