“…This condition is not related to a single cause only, but is linked to a conjunction of factors that will make it possible for a lesion to develop. 22 The authors were able to verify that the consumption of only citric fruits and juices, and similarly, the consumption of yogurt soft drinks and Vitamin C were not considered a risk factor for erosion. The protective factors of saliva, such as its buffering capacity and salivary flow; acquired pellicle and composition of tooth enamel may be as important as the frequency of exposure to acids, which may explain the absence of association between diet and erosion.…”

Background/PurposeDental erosion in young individuals has increased significantly in recent years, due to changes in lifestyle. Thus, the present study investigated the prevalence and factors associated with dental erosion in individuals aged 12–30 years in the city of Imperatriz of Maranhão, Brazil.Materials and methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 335 individuals who answered a questionnaire consisting of variables related to dental erosion. Afterwards, the individuals were subjected to clinical examinations and the basic erosive wear examination index was used to classify their teeth according to the presence and severity of dental erosion.ResultsDescriptive statistics, the chi-square test, Poisson univariate and multivariate regression were performed at 5% level of significance. The sample was characterized by 204 females (60.9%), the majority of whom were from 12 to 19 years of age (78.5%), among whom 28.7% presented dental erosion. Their monthly family income was from 1 to 3 minimum wages (56.4%). The variables that were significantly associated with the outcome were family income, chewing gum, and consumption of soft-drinks/juices before going to sleep (p=0.03, p=0.001, and p=0.04, respectively). Individuals who chewed chewing gum were 2.27 times (95% CI =1.43–3.60) more likely to present dental erosion than those who did not chew gum. Individuals who ingested soft drinks or juices were 2.30 times (95% CI =1.30–4.10) more likely to present dental erosion.ConclusionThe prevalence of erosion reflected the need for programs of prevention and guidance for patients about the etiological factors of the disease.

“…Those on a raw food diet demonstrated a prevalence of erosion close to 98% and were twice as likely to have severe erosion than control participants [35]. Vegetarians have been reported to consume an increased quantity of fresh fruit on a daily basis [35,36]. A case-control study on twenty-six age and sex matched lactovegetarians by erosive defects whereas age and sex matched controls exhibited no "grave" erosive defects.…”

An acidic diet has been associated with erosive tooth wear. However, some people who consume dietary acids develop erosive tooth wear and some do not. This review paper provides an overview of the risk factors of dietary acid consumption which increase the likelihood of developing severe erosive tooth wear. Increased frequency of dietary acid consumption, particularly between meals appears to be the predominant risk factor. However, habitually drinking acidic drinks by sipping them slowly or swishing, rinsing or holding acidic drinks in the mouth before swallowing will also increase risk of progression. Consuming fruit over long time periods at a single sitting and dietary acids being served at increased temperatures have also been implicated. Additions of fruit or fruit flavourings to drinks and regular consumption of vinegars, pickles, acidic medications or acidic sugar-free sweets are potential hidden risk factors that should be discussed with patients at risk of erosive tooth wear progression. Behaviour change is difficult to achieve but specific, targeted behavioural interventions and offering alternatives may increase success.

“…Meist wird damit eine Akkumulation von Zahnbelag in Verbindung gebracht [32]. Allerdings zeigen neuere Untersuchungen, dass vor allem eine übermäßige oder verminderte Immunreaktion bei der Entstehung der Dysbiose ursächlich ist [7] [29,30]. Überdies wirkt die erhöhte Speichel sekretion stärker remineralisierend.…”

“…Proteine scheinen sich nicht signifikant auf Zahn-und Zahnfleischerkrankungen auszuwirken. Jedoch spricht die Forschung eher für pflanzliche Proteinquellen: Eine Studie konnte bei Vegetariern im Vergleich zu Probanden mit Mischkost einen besseren parodontalen Zustand feststellen [29,37,38].…”

SummaryKaries betrifft 98 % der Bevölkerung und ist gefolgt von Parodontitis die häufigste Ursache für Zahnschäden und -verluste. Die Aufnahme einfacher Kohlenhydrate führt zur Vermehrung säurebildender Bakterien und in diesem Zuge zu einer nachhaltigen Störung des schützenden Biofilms und Mundmikrobioms. Eine zuckerarme, mikronährstoffreiche Ernährung kann Zahnerkrankungen bereits innerhalb kurzer Zeit massiv reduzieren.

Influence of fruit consumption and fluoride application on the prevalence of caries and erosion in vegetarians—a controlled clinical trial

Abstract: The presented data suggest that vegetarians have an increased risk for caries and erosion. Topical fluoride application was shown to be effective in preventing caries, but not in preventing erosion.
