Contemporary management of generalized erosive tooth surface loss.

چکیده
UNLABELLED Management of generalized erosive tooth surface loss can be challenging. Careful pre-operative assessment of the patient and treatment planning is essential. The aim of any treatment provided is to prevent further tooth surface loss, restore aesthetics and function, and provide a stable occlusal relationship. Whilst attempting to fulfil these goals, it is important to protect the remaining tooth structure by using restorations which are conservative and do not cause further damage to teeth which are already compromised. This paper aims to describe a conservative approach to restoring patients with generalized tooth surface loss. CLINICAL RELEVANCE To highlight conservative treatment options available for the management of generalized erosive tooth surface loss and show how they contrast with other destructive irreversible conventional techniques.

Evaluation of a profilometrical method for monitoring erosive tooth wear.
The in vivo monitoring of erosive wear is difficult because lesions mostly progress relatively slowly and reliable reference points are difficult to obtain. To date, only a few methods for clinical monitoring of erosive loss have been described, which either require extensive equipment or do not provide sufficient sensitivity. The aim of the present study was to evaluate, using study models (ep...
متن کاملClinical studies of dental erosion and erosive wear.
We define erosion as a partial demineralisation of enamel or dentine by intrinsic or extrinsic acids and erosive tooth wear as the accelerated loss of dental hard tissue through the combined effect of erosion and mechanical wear (abrasion and attrition) on the tooth surface. Most experts believe that during the last decade there has been a significant increase in the prevalence and severity of ...
متن کاملIn vitro and in situ erosion models for evaluating tooth substance loss.
Because of the difficulties in measuring erosion in vivo, a number of in vitro and in situ models have been developed and validated. These models are flexible and informative, allowing single as well as multiple variables to be examined under specific conditions using accurate measurement techniques over defined timelines, thus yielding useful data without harmful effects on individuals. This i...
متن کاملProtective effect of three different fluoride pretreatments on artificially induced dental erosion in primary and permanent teeth
Objective: To assess the effect of acidulated phosphate fluoride gel (APF), sodium fluoride varnish (NaF) and casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate fluoride paste (CPP-ACPF) on the dental erosion produced by coca cola in primary and permanent teeth. Design: Sixty extracted human primary molars (n = 30) and young permanent premolars (n = 30) were used in this study. The coronal porti...
متن کاملDoes erosion progress differently on teeth already presenting clinical signs of erosive tooth wear than on sound teeth? An in vitro pilot trial
BACKGROUND Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is clinically characterized by a loss of tooth surface, and different enamel depths may have different susceptibility to demineralization. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro pilot study was to assess if the progression of erosive demineralization is faster on teeth already presenting signs of ETW when compared to originally sound teeth. METHODS We selected...
