Dental Erosion in Primary Teeth

Abstract

Dental erosion is recognized as an increasingly common condition in pediatric dentistry with complications of tooth sensitivity, esthetic problems, eating difficulties and loss of occlusal vertical dimension. The dental erosion process is characterized by softening of the outer layer of enamel as well as a decrease in microhardness. In microhardness studies, it has been shown that primary tooth enamel is softer than the enamel of permanent teeth and the erosion process is faster in primary tooth enamel than permanent tooth enamel. However, since the sizes of primary teeth are smaller than permanent teeth, the risk of dental erosion-related damage increases. The purpose of this article is to critically review dental erosion in children in terms of its prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, clinical presentation, and prevention.
