Acid Erosion
نویسنده
چکیده
There is a dental epidemic occurring literally right under our noses in this country that is largely unrecognized or mis-diagnosed. It is unparalleled in the history of man because of a combination of present day factors that have never existed before, and it is causing widespread damage to the dental health of millions of Americans. Furthermore, it is relatively simple to recognize and there are definite ways to not only prevent, but also to treat and ameliorate its destructive effects.

Dental erosion in workers exposed to sulfuric acid in lead storage battery manufacturing facility.
Dental erosion, and specifically its symptoms, has long been studied in Japan as an occupational dental disease. However, in recent years, few studies have investigated the development of this disease or labor hygiene management aimed at its prevention. As a result, interest in dental erosion is comparatively low, even among dental professionals. Our investigation at a lead storage battery fact...
متن کاملEnamel Erosion by 15% and 18% Hydrochloric Acid Gels after Different Application Times
Background and Aim: Discolored teeth are among the most common reasons behind seeking esthetic dental treatments. Resin infiltration is a new technique for treatment of white spot lesions (WSLs). In this technique, 15% hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used to cause surface erosion. The aim of this study was to compare the enamel erosion caused by 15% and 18% HCl gels after different application times...
متن کاملDentin Erosion: Method Validation and Efficacy of Fluoride Protection
The aging population experiences more gingival recession and root exposure which increases the opportunity for dentin erosion. This study tested the use of transverse microradiography (TMR) methods to assess dentin erosion and the interaction between fluoride and citric acid on the amount of erosion in the dentin samples. In a 4 × 3 interaction experimental design, four fluoride concentrations ...

OBJECTIVE Dental erosion is characterized as a disorder with a multifactorial aetiology including environmental acid exposure. The purpose of this article was to summarize and discuss the available information concerning occupational dental erosion. METHODS Information from original scientific papers, case reports and reviews with additional case reports listed in PubMed, Medline or EMBASE [s...
متن کاملDental erosion patterns from intrinsic acid regurgitation and vomiting.
BACKGROUND The distribution of lesions from dental erosion due to intrinsic acid regurgitation and vomiting may be different from patterns of dental erosion due to extrinsic acids. To date studies have failed to validate this assumption. This study described the sites and nature of lesions from dental erosion in cases of intrinsic acid regurgitation, and compared them with the distribution of l...
متن کاملDental erosion in children: a literature review.
Epidemiological studies have shown that the prevalence of dental erosion in children varies widely between 2 and 57%. Changes seen in dental erosion range from removal of surface characteristics to extensive loss of tooth tissue with pulp exposure and abscess formation. Symptoms of dental erosion range from sensitivity to severe pain associated with pulp exposure. The etiology of dental erosion...
