Dental Erosion

Part of the book series: Textbooks in Contemporary Dentistry ((TECD))

Abstract

Dental erosion is a complex process, with several potential intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors, which include biological, chemical, and behavioral aspects contributing to its development. This is a multifactorial oral condition associated with an increasing degree of concern among clinicians and epidemiologists due to its impact on the quality of life of individuals. This chapter reviews factors associated with dental erosion and discusses how dental erosion might interfere with normal physiology and the aesthetic aspects of individuals’ teeth. The chapter also describes different characteristics of dental erosion and other types of tooth wear when a differential diagnosis is necessary. Finally, data from epidemiological studies are also presented to illustrate the variation of dental erosion in terms of prevalence and incidence, as well as the methods of assessment of dental erosion applied worldwide. Readers will have the opportunity to examine the reviewed concepts and classification on this topic, and update information on the available literature regarding dental erosion.
