N2  - Background: This study's purpose was to assess the prevalence of dental erosion in adolescents and to evaluate the association between erosion and socioeconomic factors.Methods: This study was carried out on 188 adolescents (14-16 years old) of both gender who attending Dentistry Faculty of Konya, Turkey. A calibrated examiner used the O’Brien index for assessment of dental erosion on the buccal and palatal surfaces of the permanent maxillary incisors and on the occlusal surfaces of the permanent first molars. Data on age, gender, mean family income and parental educational status were collected by a questionnaire completed by the subjects. Descriptive statistics were applied to the data, and the associations between erosion and socioeconomic variables were investigated by chi-square test (P < 0.05).Results: 17.5% (n=33) of the subjects exhibited dental erosion, with only enamel being involved. Occlusal surface of the lower first molar was the most commonly affected teeth (7.57%); followed by palatal surface (2.59%) and buccal surface (1.46%) of maxillary incisors, respectively. There was no correlation between dental erosion and age, gender, socioeconomic factors.Conclusion: No statistically significant association was observed between erosion, age, gender and socioeconomic factors. In Turkey, dental erosion seems to be a significant, but not serious problem for dental health in adolescents.
