“…The present study confirmed this significant correlation but in the primary dentition only. In addition, the palatal surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth were found to be the only surfaces affected by very severe dental erosion which is in agreement with previous reports 6,13,29 . The reason for this localization of the most severe erosive damage has also been discussed earlier, and several factors were found to be involved including, for example, the pellicle layer which was found to be thinnest on the palatal surfaces of maxillary anterior teeth 18,30 .…”

Background The prevalence of dental erosion is rising especially among children and adolescents and its grading needs further investigation. Aims To determine the prevalence and severity of dental erosion in groups of Yemeni children and adolescents, and to clinically compare an erosion partial recording system (EPRS) with a proposed modified–simplified version (EPRS‐M). Design Of 6163 individuals aged 5–6, 13–14 and 18–19 years, 911 were randomly selected, of which 668 participated in the study. Dental erosion was graded using EPRS. EPRS‐M was proposed, and its sensitivity and specificity was calculated in relation to EPRS. Results Prevalence of erosion extending into dentine on at least one tooth was 6.8% among 5‐ to 6‐year‐olds, 3.0% among 13‐ to 14‐year‐olds and 14.6% among 18‐ to 19‐year olds. The highest prevalence was 19.2% among girls aged 18–19 years which was significantly higher than boys (10.4%) in the same age group (P = 0.044). Sensitivity and specificity for EPRS‐M in relation to EPRS were 85.7% and 100% for primary teeth, and 84.1% and 100% for permanent teeth. Conclusions Dental erosion was common among children and older teenagers and highest among older girls but less common among younger teenagers. The tested accuracy of EPRS‐M qualifies it to be used as an initial quick detection tool in future dental erosion research.

“…In the present study, the ETW prevalence of 57% was similar to previous studies conducted in Poland (59.8%), 3 Colombia (57.3%), 5 and Norway (59%), 9 but higher than most studies involving adolescents and young adults. 4,6,7,8,10 The differences among the studies could be attributed to the different methods/criteria of examination, sample size, age group, and setting. In Brazil, the previous published study including 15-19-year-old individuals found an ETW prevalence rate of 21%.…”

“…1 This is a multifactorial condition, since its presence and severity depend on several factors, such as nutrition, saliva, general diseases, and behavioral and lifestyle habits. 2 There are several studies assessing ETW among adolescents, 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 Declaration of Interests: The authors certify that they have no commercial or associative interest that represents a conflict of interest in connection with the manuscript.…”

Erosive tooth wear among South Brazilian adolescents, and its association with sociodemographic variables

et al. 2019

The aim of this study was to assess the occurrence of erosive tooth wear (ETW) among 15-19-year-old South Brazilian adolescents, regarding prevalence, extent, severity, intraoral distribution, and sociodemographic risk indicators. A population-based cross-sectional survey was conducted in Santa Maria, southern Brazil, and included a representative sample of 15-19-year-old adolescents. Data collection included the application of a questionnaire and a clinical examination. A questionnaire was sent to the parents/legal guardians of the selected students, containing questions on demographic information, socioeconomic characteristics, and living conditions. After tooth cleaning and drying, all erupted permanent teeth were clinically assessed by two calibrated examiners, and classified according to the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE). The association between explanatory variables and the outcomes (ETW prevalence and extent) was assessed using Poisson regression models (both unadjusted and adjusted). A total of 1,197 adolescents were included in the study (participation rate of 72.3%). The overall prevalence of ETW was 57%. Severe ETW affected 16% of the sample. Overall, this adolescent population presented 13.3 affected surfaces, and 8.34 affected teeth. In the risk assessment analysis, gender, skin color, socioeconomic status, and family income were significantly associated with ETW. Boys, white adolescents, and those with higher socioeconomic status were more affected by ETW. This population-based cross-sectional study revealed that the prevalence of ETW was high, and that it was associated with sociodemographic variables in this South Brazilian population of adolescents.

Analysis of the Early Stages and Evolution of Dental Enamel Erosion

The aim of this study was to evaluate by atomic force microscopy (AFM) the early phases and evolution of dental enamel erosion caused by hydrochloric acid exposure, simulating gastroesophageal reflux episodes. Polished bovine enamel slabs (4x4x2 mm) were selected and exposed to 0.1 mL of 0.01 M hydrochloric acid (pH=2) at 37 ?#61472;?#61616;C using five different exposure intervals (n=1): no acid exposure (control), 10 s, 20 s, 30 s and 40 s. The exposed area was analyzed by AFM in 3 regions to measure the roughness, surface area and morphological surface. The data were analyzed qualitatively. Roughness started as low as that of the control sample, Rrms=3.5 nm, and gradually increased at a rate of 0.3 nm/s, until reaching Rrms=12.5 nm at 30 s. After 40 s, the roughness presented increment of 0.40 nm only. Surface area (SA) increased until 20 s, and for longer exposures, the surface area was constant (at 30 s, SA=4.40 μm2 and at 40 s, SA=4.43 μm2). As regards surface morphology, the control sample presented smaller hydroxyapatite crystals (22 nm) and after 40 s the crystal size was approximately 60 nm. Short periods of exposure were sufficient to produce enamel demineralization in different patterns and the morphological structure was less affected by exposure to hydrochloric acid over 30 s.
