Any tooth surface can develop a cavity, but some surfaces are more prone to developing a cavity. These can include newly erupted teeth due to immature enamel and teeth with enamel defects.
The cells that manufacture enamel are very sensitive to systemic insults. Disruption in the production of enamel during tooth development will result in a defect which may be microscopic or macroscopic.
