Abordarea terapeutică a uzurii dentare datorată eroziunii | [Therapeutic management of dental wear by erosion - literature review]

Abstract

Dental wear is clinically defined as the progressive and irreversible loss of hard dental tissue caused by various mechanisms that do not involve plaque bacteria. The evolutions of lifestyles and diet, as well as the appearance of other pathologies, have favored the development of new losses of dental tissues, associated with dental wear which includes abrasion, erosion, and attrition. The objective of this work was to determine the therapeutic management of dental wear and especially erosion through an extensive review of the literature. The successful treatment of dental wear requires early diagnosis, profound patient sensitization, and an individualized protocol. These three points are essential in order to prevent the progression of the lesions and to limit at best their severity. Finally, school dental prevention programs should include the concept of dental erosion so that children learn the dangers quickly and adopt good eating and oral hygiene habits at an early age.
