Abstract

Alternative products used for tooth whitening teeth cause serious wear on tooth surfaces. Knowing the factors that cause tooth wear and their localizations plays an important role in reducing risk factors and treatment. In this case report, 2 patients who presented to the clinic with the complaint of tooth wear are presented. Case 1 used a mixture of vinegar and baking soda to whiten her teeth, while Case 2 used baking soda and whitening toothpaste. The wear on the tooth surface deepened in the cervical area. Both patients had horizontal tooth brushing and bruxism. Reduction of risk factors and direct composite restoration were described in the treatment. Alternative products that can be used to whiten teeth cause serious wear on teeth. Elimination of risk factors plays an important role in the treatment of these wear. The location and depth of the lesion play an important role in the treatment.

Abstract

Dişleri beyazlatmak amacı ile kullanılan alternatif ürünler diş yüzeylerinde ciddi aşınmalara sebep olmaktadır. Diş aşınmalarının meydana gelmesine sebep olan faktörlerin ve lokalizasyonlarının bilinmesi risk faktörlerinin azaltılmasında ve tedavide önemli rol oynamaktadır. Bu olgu raporunda, diş aşınması şikayetiyle kliniğe başvuran 2 hasta sunulmuştur. Olgu 1 dişlerini beyazlatmak için sirke ve karbonat karışımı kullanırken, Olgu 2 ise karbonat ve beyazlatıcı diş macunu kullanmıştır. Diş yüzeyinde meydana gelen aşınmalar servikal bölgede derinleşmekteydi. Her iki hastada da horizontal diş fırçalama ve bruksizm vardı. Tedavisinde risk faktölerinin azaltılması ve direkt kompozit ile restorasyonu anlatıldı. Dişleri beyazlatmak amacı ile kullanılabilen alternatif ürünler dişlerde ciddi aşınmalara sebep olmaktadır.
