ABSTRACT
Background: Dental erosion is irreversible and chronic pathological dissolution
of dental hard tissue caused by acids of non-bacterial origin. The acidic properties of certain foods result in potential dental enamel erosion.
Case Presentation: We present a 55-year-old man in this report complaining about the
severe worn-out in anterior and posterior teeth over the past couple of years. History of frequent soft drinks, sour jounces, lemon water and Wine were
noted in the Diet and Wear evaluation forms. Moreover, patient hardly
brushing technique and immediately after the acidic intake can also consider as
a factor that progresses erosive-abrasive teeth loss. On dental examination cupping,
grooving and broad-base cervical lesions and other signs of erosive wear in
incisal, occlusal and cervical area were noted in teeth.
Conclusion: The study seeks to demonstrate the important of making reliable
diagnosis through patient interviewing by using various
evaluation methods; including medical and dental history, diet analysis, wear question
form. These findings lead us to causative factor connection between dental
erosion and acidic diet type consumption. Also, limit the challenging to discriminate because of
co-occurrence of erosion, attrition and abrasion during a clinical examination. However, the appropriate assessment in this case helps
us to prevent new development erosions, stope further progression
demineralization and implement the required treatment need according to the
case.
