Tooth Erosion Awareness in a Brazilian Dental School

Journal of Dental Education, 2011
The aim of this cross‐sectional study was to assess awareness and attitudes related to tooth erosion among dental students, patients, and faculty members in a Brazilian dental school. Data were collected by means of a self‐applied questionnaire that was distributed among 298 participants. The response rate was 89.6 percent.

Definition of Erosion and Links to Tooth Wear

2006
Erosive tissue loss is part of the physiological wear of teeth. Clinical features are an initial loss of tooth shine or luster, followed by flattening of convex structures, and, with continuing acid exposure, concavities form on smooth surfaces, or grooving and cupping occur on incisal/occlusal surfaces.

Global Prevalence of Erosive Tooth Wear

Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is a common phenomenon in the general population. Furthermore, people with eating disorders or reflux, special diets, regular consumption of acidic foods and beverages, some medications or drugs, and occupational exposure to acids, including athletes, are at high risk for ETW. Differences in indices, sample sizes, study designs,

Measurement of tooth wear in patients with palatal erosion

British Dental Journal, 1997
To develop a reproducible method for the assessment of tooth wear in vivo using a laser profilometer.A controlled study to measure tooth wear.Wear was measured over a 6-month period in 13 patients with unexplained palatal dental erosion and compared with a group of 7 controls without any evidence of abnormal wear.Metal disks were cemented to the tooth ...

The Role of Fluoride in Erosive Tooth Wear

Fluoride plays a crucial role in preventing erosive tooth wear, with varying effectiveness depending on the fluoride compound and dental tissues involved. Fluoride combined with stannous (F/Sn) and titanium tetrafluoride (TiF4) shows superior effects compared to other fluoride compounds, mainly due to the formation of acid-resistant layers (TiF4 and F ...

Genetic Aspects on Erosive Tooth Wear

Erosive tooth wear is a gene-environmental model. It requires the exposure to acids, typically from the diet or from the gastric content of the host, and shows variation among individuals and populations, which suggests it to be determined by more than one gene, each with small individual effects.

Prevalence of Erosive Tooth Wear in Risk Groups

2014
Individuals have different risks for developing erosive lesions depending on background, behavioural, dietary and medical variables. It is anticipated that people with regular impact of gastric juice, i.e. patients with eating disorders and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) have a specially high risk of developing dental erosions; the same could ...
