How does the enamel of primary teeth compare to permanent teeth?

thicker
thinner
the same thickness
More porous

The correct answer is: thinner

The enamel of primary teeth is generally thinner than that of permanent teeth. This is because primary teeth are smaller than permanent teeth and do not have to withstand the same forces and pressure while chewing. This thinner enamel can make the primary teeth more susceptible to decay and damage, emphasizing the importance of proper dental care for children. The other options are incorrect because A is not necessarily true for all cases, C is not always true, and D does not accurately reflect the difference in enamel thickness between primary and permanent teeth.
