“…Currently prevention and treatment of erosive tooth wear still focus on the individual actions of the patient and health professionals [ 11 – 13 ], with a lack of health promotion strategies for dental erosion at the government and community levels. The Rethink Sugary Drink campaign in Australia has raised the public awareness of sugar-sweetened beverages, with the interprofessional collaboration among dental hygiene, dentistry, medicine, nutrition, Indigenous health, and community health [ 53 ].…”

“…Potential consequences of dental erosion include dentine hypersensitivity, dental pain, unsatisfactory dental esthetics, and/or impaired oral function [ 11 ]. In addition to the preventive and restorative approaches provided by dental professionals to manage dental erosion and its clinical consequences [ 11 ], some self-care measures to prevent dental erosion have been suggested [ 12 , 13 ]. These self-care methods are developed to reduce the exposure of the dentition to intrinsic gastrointestinal and extrinsic dietary acids which have been considered as the aetiological factors of dental erosion [ 14 ].…”

Background Erosive tooth wear has significant impacts on oral and general health. This study aimed to measure the awareness of dental erosion to establish the relationships among sociodemographic factors, awareness and knowledge of dental erosion, and beverage consumption behaviours, in a sample of university students in Australia. Methods All undergraduate students enrolled in the targeted programs at an Australian University were invited. A total of 418 students consented to participate. Each was assessed with an online questionnaire. Results The awareness rate of dental erosion was 92.1%. Soft drinks and fruit juice were most often perceived as acidic beverages by the respondents. The students of greater age, and studying pharmacy, paramedicine, physiotherapy or science, were less likely to be aware of dental erosion. Those students that were aware of dental erosion also had better knowledge of dental erosion, which was associated with a reduced quantity of daily acidic beverage consumption as well. The students that predominantly resided overseas had less knowledge of dental erosion. The students that were of greater age, that were studying clinical science, pharmacy, medical science, paramedicine, or science, and that correctly identified more types of acidic beverages, more often consumed acidic beverages in high-risk patterns. Conclusions Erosive tooth wear is a relevant matter in dentistry, nutrition and public health. Within a university setting, the effect of education on oral health literacy and beverage consumption behaviour is confirmed. Dental and health professionals should actively educate the individuals and communities about dental erosion and motivate them to change acidic beverage consumption behaviours.

“…The use of toothpastes with low RDA is part of the recommendations for patients with signs of erosive tooth wear 18,19 . While this is undoubtedly a 'common sense' recommendation, its implementation presents issues as manufacturers are not legally required to declare RDA (or REA) data for their products, leaving patients in the dark.…”

“…Filament stiffness is controlled by filament diameter; so-called 'hard toothbrushes' have filaments with a larger diameter than do 'soft toothbrushes', with the most common 'medium toothbrushes' having filaments of diameter between those of 'soft' and 'hard' toothbrushes. It is often postulated that hard toothbrushes cause more wear than soft ones, which has led to recommendations of soft toothbrushes for patients diagnosed with erosive tooth wear 18,19 . Mechanistic laboratory studies, however, revealed the opposite, as soft toothbrushes were found to accelerate the wear process because of their greater ability to carry abrasive particles across the surface 13,15,16 .…”

5425, E-Mail flippert@iu.edu 2 Objectives: To investigate the enamel and dentin surface loss caused by the interaction between abrasives in toothpaste and toothbrush filament stiffness. Methods:The study followed a 2 (high/low-level abrasive; silica) × 3 (filament stiffness; soft/medium/hard) × 2 (cycling time; 3/5d) factorial design. Polished bovine enamel and dentin specimens (n=8 each per group) were subjected to 5d of erosion/abrasion cycling: erosion (5min, 4×/d, 0.3% citric acid, pH 3.75), abrasion (15s, 2×/d, 45 strokes each, 150g load, automated brushing machine), fluoride treatment (15s with abrasion and 45s without abrasion; 275ppm F as NaF in abrasive slurry) with exposure to artificial saliva between erosion and abrasion/F exposure (1h) and all other times (overnight).Non-contact profilometry was used to determine surface loss (SL) after 3 and 5d of cycling. Data were analyzed using three-way ANOVA (factors: abrasive/filament stiffness/time) with separate analyses conducted for enamel and dentin.Results: For enamel, only 'cycling time' was found to affect surface loss with 5>3d. Overall, there was little SL (mean range: 0.76-1.85µm). For dentin (mean SL range: 1.87-5.91µm), significantly higher SL was found for 5 vs. 3d, with particularly large differences for hard stiffness/high-level abrasive, and medium stiffness/medium abrasive. Hard stiffness resulted in significantly higher SL than medium stiffness for high abrasive after 5d, with no other significant stiffness differences. High abrasive had significantly higher SL than medium abrasive overall with strong effects for all combinations, except medium stiffness after 5d. Conclusion:The interplay between abrasivity and filament stiffness appears to be more relevant for dentin than enamel.3

Approximately 10-20 % of the general population suffers from gastroesophageal refl ux disease or GERD. GERD can manifest as esophageal and extraesophageal symptoms. GERD may damage the dental tissues, causing disorders such as dental erosion. According to studies, 24 % of patients with GERD have dental erosion, and 32 % of adults and 17 % of children with dental erosion have GERD. However, not all affected persons will have classic symptoms of GERD. Dentists may be the fi rst persons to diagnose GERD in these "silent refl uxers," particularly when observing unexplained tooth erosion. The cause of GERD is multifactorial, but the basic cause is incompetent antirefl ux barriers at the gastroesophageal junction. However, other causes have also been attributed to GERD which include decreased saliva production, diet, eating habits, medications, and obesity. Typical manifestations of GERD are heartburn, regurgitation, and dysphagia. Other symptoms have also been associated with GERD, and if any "alarm symptoms" are present, then further evaluation is required. The location of the erosive tooth wear in the dentition is specifi c to each etiologic factor. Refl uxed acid fi rst damages the palatal surface of the upper incisors then the other surfaces of the maxillary teeth. In chronic GERD, the labial or buccal surfaces are affected then the occlusal surfaces of maxillary and mandibular teeth. The diagnosis of GERD can be made clinically, physiologically, anatomically, or functionally depending on the testing modality. The mainstay management
