Guidelines describing the diagnosis, prevention, and management of dental erosion.

Disclosure stating no funded contributors to the guidelines.

Research-backed content used to inform dental erosion management.

A group consensus process used for guideline development.

30% to 50% of children experience dental erosion in primary teeth.

20% to 45% of adults experience dental erosion in permanent teeth.

Erosive tooth wear varies widely depending on geography and study.

Groups involved in the approval of dental erosion guidelines, like dental faculties and societies.

A chronic condition where stomach acid frequently flows back into the esophagus, potentially leading to dental erosion.

Common signs include heartburn, epigastric pain, retrosternal discomfort, and hoarseness.

Patients who experience reflux symptoms without typical signs like heartburn, remaining undiagnosed.

Factors leading to GORD include sphincter incompetence, obesity, and dietary choices.

Tooth wear caused by acid, significant in patients with GORD.

Symptoms like chronic cough and asthma that are linked to GORD, not just heartburn.

GORD affects approximately 8.8% to 25.9% of adults in Europe, suggesting commonality.

Presence of reflux condition diagnosed by standard criteria, even in the absence of symptoms.

Drinks containing fruit flavors or additives that lower pH.

The consumption of acidic foods and drinks that can erode tooth enamel.

The ability of a beverage to erode tooth enamel.

Teas that contain added fruits, increasing acidity.

The increasing damage to tooth enamel caused by acidic consumption over time.

The habit of frequently sipping acidic drinks, increasing erosion risk.

Factors that increase the likelihood of tooth erosion, such as acidic intake and low saliva buffering.

A toothbrush with stiff bristles that can contribute to enamel wear when used incorrectly.

Fruits like oranges and lemons known for their erosive potential.

Beverages like wine and cider that are also considered acidic.

Carbonated beverages, especially sugary ones, are linked to increased risk of tooth erosion.

Internal (gastric) and external (dietary) factors causing erosion.

Juices have high acidity that can lead to tooth enamel damage, particularly in children.

Hidden acids in foods, like sauces and snacks, that can cause erosion.

Children using bottles with acidic drinks may suffer severe tooth damage.

Strategies to reduce risk factors for dental erosion, especially in children and young adults.

Factors that predispose individuals to dental erosion, including exposure to acids and drugs.

Work-related exposure to acidic substances that can lead to dental erosion, e.g., in factories.

Specific tooth areas prone to erosion, like maxillary palatal regions and mandibular occlusal surfaces.

Acids originating from within the body that contribute to dental erosion, affecting specific tooth surfaces.

Acids from external sources, such as foods and drinks, that contribute to dental erosion.

Physical indicators of erosive wear, such as loss of contours and translucency of teeth.

Diagnosing tooth erosion through careful examination under good lighting.

Actions taken to prevent the progression of dental erosion once diagnosed.

Ensuring remaining tooth structure allows for future restoration without complications.

Documents helping patients understand risks related to dental erosion.

Regular assessment of dental erosion progression or arrest.

3D models that aid in monitoring dental erosion in patients.

A method to capture and monitor wear on affected tooth areas.

Tool used to assess erosion compare to tooth surface.

Clinical index recommended for assessing dental erosion severity.

System assigning grades to tooth erosion from no erosion to hard tissue loss.
