“…The observed prevalence of dental erosive wear was nearly 80%. Although comparison between studies is challenging due to variability of the diagnostic tools used, our finding was in accordance with two studies of five-year-olds: one from Greece (79%) and another from Malta (81%) [23,24]. SEPRS or the original defined partial recording system showed only a negligible difference in findings.…”

“…Whereas one study from Greece of five-to seven-year-olds found no association between socio-economic status and dental erosive wear [22], another of five-year-olds showed that high family income and low maternal education associated with Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) cumulative scores [23]. A study from Malta found lower dental erosion among fiveyear-olds of parents with higher education [24]. Other studies of older children and adolescents that investigated whether background origin associates with dental erosive wear have found inconsistent results [27,[35][36][37][38].…”

“…As in permanent teeth, epidemiological studies focussing on dental erosion in primary teeth show wide-ranging prevalence [20]. Figures from Europe among five-year-olds vary from 30% to 98% [21][22][23][24][25], and it is commonly accepted that this condition is prevalent in pre-school children [20]. This variability may stem from the diagnostic indices used, the number of subjects in the different studies examined, the socio-economic groups targeted, and a lack of information on the age groups involved.…”

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of dental erosive wear among five-year-olds in Bergen, Norway, and to investigate associations between background factors and the condition. Methods: A total of 387 children received a dental examination in five Public Dental Service clinics in Bergen, Norway. The parents responded to items about the children's dental hygiene and drinking habits, type of beverage container, diet, and other habits, and about their own age, educational level and country of origin. We explored background variables for possible associations with the outcome status as worst affected by erosive wear (19.4%, n ¼ 75). Chi-squared statistics and logistic regression (Odds Ratios (OR): 95% Confidence Intervals (CI), served as statistical tools). Results: Approximately 80% showed erosive wear (by SEPRS and by adopted diagnostic instrument (78.5% vs 79.8%)). The condition affected maxillary anterior teeth in 13.9% (n ¼ 54), and cuppings in molars in 79.3% (n ¼ 307) of cases. Grinding teeth during the day and/or night (OR: 1.87, CI: 1.07-3.25) and male sex (OR: 1.76, CI: 1.05-2.96) significantly related to outcome status as worst affected by erosive wear, respectively. Conclusion: Dental erosive wear was widespread. Grinding teeth and male sex associated with outcome status as worst affected by erosive wear.

“…In our study, 21.8% of the participants had dental erosion in at least one tooth; this is similar to the results of some previous studies. 12,28 There are also higher 29,30 and lower 11,31,32 results reported in the literature. The broad range of the prevalence of dental erosion may be attributed to several variables such as the type of index used to diagnose erosion, the sample size, inclusion criteria, age group, and the teeth that were examined.…”

Objective: To determine the prevalence of erosion of schoolchildren, and to reveal the relationship between the dental caries, gingival health status, dental plaque levels and dental erosion. Materials and methods:A cross-sectional analysis was performed on a representative sample of 473 children (aged 7─14 years). The O'Sullivan, Decayed-Missing-Filled (DMF), Plaque, and Gingival indices were used during the examination of the children. The values were evaluated using chi-square test, Tukey's test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results: Dental erosion was observed in 21.8% of the children. Lesions were mostly observed in the enamel but less than a half of the buccal surface was affected. Erosion was found to be statistically higher in older children (p=0.001). There was no statistically significant relationship between the children's gender and erosion level (p=0.157). A higher level of erosion was observed in children with high DMFT and DMFS values and low dft and dfs values (p<0.05); children with dental erosion had higher plaque and gingival indices (p<0.05). Conclusion:Though limited to the enamel, the prevalence of erosion was high and was associated with age, dental caries, dental plaque, and gingival inflammation.
