“…Previous studies showed that besides periodontal disease, occupational exposure to acid mist and acid solution may cause tooth damage [3,23,[25][26][27][28][29][30], especially tooth erosion [2]. In 2010, a Japanese study showed that the mean prevalence rate of tooth erosion among battery factory workers was 22.5%, which was also proportional to work history.…”

Background: Acid mist can suspend in the air and enter the body via skin contact, the respiratory tract, or even oral intake, which pose various health hazards. Previous studies have shown that occupational exposure to acid mist or acidic solutions is a major risk factor for oral diseases. However, the findings are inconsistent and do not consider individual factors and lifestyles that may cause the same oral diseases. Therefore, we conducted a comprehensive oral health survey and collected detail information to confirm the effect of acidic solution exposure on worker’s oral health. Methods: From 4 acidic solution factories, a total of 309 subjects (157 in control and 152 in exposed group) was enrolled. All participants competed oral examinations and self-report questionnaire, including the decayed, missing, and filled teeth (DMFT) index, community periodontal index (CPI), loss of attachment (LA) index, and tooth erosion. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the association between the acidic solution exposure and oral health.Results: The results showed that acid exposure was correlated with soft oral tissue injury rather than hard oral tissue in our survey. In the multivariate model (adjusted for sex, age, worked years, education level, mouthwash use, dental floss use, tooth brushing, mask use, smoking, drinking, chewing areca and dietary habits with acidic foods), significant relationships of acid exposure with LA score were observed (OR=2.32, 95% CI 1.03-5.26). However, the presence of acid exposure was not significantly associated with tooth erosion, DMFT, and CPITN.Conclusion: Our study highlighted that occupational acid exposure was an independent risk factor for periodontal health, especially LA. It is important to strengthen occupational hazard control, educate workers on oral disease and related factors, and raise the awareness of oral hygiene.

Aim: To determine specific differences in prevalence and etiology of cervical abrasion (CA) related to age, gender, and population and to recommend optimal management protocols. Background: Cervical abrasion is a part of a spectrum of regressive changes in teeth called noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs). These are physiological or pathological alterations as a function of time, related to physical and/or chemical factors. There are multiple variables involved in the pathogenesis and management of these lesions. There may be age-, gender-, and population-based differences in prevalence and clinical parameters of CA. Results: Our review selected 24 studies from an initial 3,876 titles. We found significant differences in prevalence of CA in relation to age, toothbrushing frequency, brush type, and brushing technique. There were definite conclusion regarding type of teeth affected and appropriate management to enhance quality of life of the patients. Data on CA are inconsistent and need standardization. Conclusion: Cervical abrasion varies in prevalence across countries. However, it exhibits definite age-related increase. There is no gender predilection. The frequency of toothbrushing, type of brush, brushing technique, and use of dentifrice influences the prevalence. Certain teeth are more susceptible to abrasion than others. Resin-modified glass ionomers were reported to be better for treating this condition. Clinical significance: There is no standardized methodology to diagnose the presence and clinical severity of dental abrasion. This affects data on prevalence, habits, and management. Standardized protocol and tools may be developed for the same, and would improve outcomes particularly in vulnerable groups like geriatric populations, which are mainly affected by this condition.

“…We chose to use the 35-44 years age group in the sample size calculation because, according to national epidemiological surveys, this group is the one that best represents the "workers" category. The 65-74 years age group corresponds to elderly and retired individuals, and the preceding 15-19 years age group corresponds to adolescents 14 .…”

“…For each 10 workers, one was reexamined to assess intra-examiner agreement 14 The workers responded to questionnaires regarding personal and social demographic information (name, age, gender, educational level, marital status), occupational information (exposure to acid mists and chemical products, income), reason for seeking assistance at the Worker's Health Reference Center and finally, questionnaires OHIP-14 16 and WAI 11 . In an interview with the investigator, the alcohol use disorders identification test (AUDIT) and the Fagerström Tolerance questionnaire were used to assess alcohol consumption and nicotine dependence 14 All workers were submitted to a clinical dental exam, which was performed on all teeth, including third molars (if present). The DMFT index was assessed in the examination, according to WHO criteria 15 Instruction for calculation of prevalence and extension of OHIP-14 are available at Slade et al 9…”

This study evaluates the association of Non Carious Cervical Lesions (NCCLs), Oral Health-Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) and Work Ability Index (WAI) in a Brazilian population of Workers. One hundred workers were evaluated in a CEREST (Worker´s Health Reference Center). Participants were examined for oral disease following WHO recommendations, and the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) and Work Ability Index assessment was used to determine OHRQoL and capacity to work, respectively. Assessment of tobacco use and alcohol consumption was made by Fagestron tolerance and Audit test. Statistical analyses were performed using STATA version 13.0. Dimensions with highest OHIP scores were physical pain and psychological discomfort. In bivariate analyses, NCCLs was significant associated with OHIP-14 severity PR 3.8 (CI95%1.26-11.89) and with self-related of oral pain PR 2.16 (CI95% 1.06-4.40). In the multivariate logistic regression analyses, years of smoking habits OR 1.73 (CI95% 1.03-2.9) was significant associated with OHIP-14 severity, independent of other variables. OHIP14 was significant associated to WAI (p=0,02). Strategies for Monitoring oral health Brazilian workers and reduce tobacco use should be done by Brazilian Companies to support Work ability. For future investigations on OHRQoL, analyses of NCCLs should be included.Descriptors: Quality of Life; Oral Health; Occupational Dentistry; Occupational Health; Tooth Erosion.
