Dental erosion
etiology, diagnosis, prevalence, and preventive measures
Keywords:
Tooth erosion, Etiology, Diagnostic, Epidemiology, Preventive maintenanceAbstract
The purpose of this study was to review the literature regarding the etiology, diagnosis, and preventive measures of dental erosion, as well as to analyze its prevalence in Brazil and other countries. Dental erosion is characterized by the progressive loss of the hard tissue of teeth caused by the direct action of chemical substances on the dental surfaces that are exposed in the oral cavity. Dental erosion has a multifactorial etiology, which contributes to the difficulty in the diagnosis of the non-carious cervical lesions. Therefore, early diagnosis and identification of the etiological factors of dental erosion are crucial in the process of adopting effective preventive measures. The following basic guidelines are listed as important measures to prevent dental erosion: educating consumers to reduce the consumption of acid drinks over long periods of time and to use a straw to avoid the contact of the liquid with the teeth. Additionally, it is important to stimulate food industries to add calcium in drinks with low pH levels.
