Advances in Preventive and Therapeutic Approaches for Dental Erosion: A Systematic Review

Abstract

This review discusses both preventive measures and clinically implemented therapy procedures that have been developed recently for the prevention and treatment of tooth erosion. Methods: The databases PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science were used for a thorough search. Studies on the prevention and treatment of dental erosion that were conducted in English and used in vitro were among the inclusion criteria. Results: The search turned up 391 papers in total, with 34 of those publications matching the requirements for inclusion. Varnishes, toothpastes, and solutions containing fluoride and other substances were used as preventive measures. Conclusions: Dental erosion is a significant issue, and taking preventative steps is crucial to lessening the disease’s spread and its effects. Interventions based on fluoride seem to be successful at halting erosion and encouraging remineralization. To effectively address severe tooth erosion, therapeutic methods, including composite restorations, prosthetic crowns, and veneers, are available. Dental erosion causes aesthetic and functional issues that are best addressed with less invasive treatments like direct composite restorations. To improve and broaden the range of available treatments for this common dental issue, additional research and development are required.

A Full Mouth Rehabilitation of an Asthma-Associated Patient With Tooth Surface Loss: A Case Report

“…Moreover, many asthma patients suffer from gastroesophageal reflux [ 10 ], with a prevalence as high as 80% (many cases of which are clinically silent) [ 11 ], which further exacerbates the acidic intraoral environment. Our patient was advised to cut down on sugary carbonated drinks [ 12 ], dilute them with water, consume them once daily rather than throughout the day, and wait one to two hours before brushing after consuming soft drinks, as previously recommended [ 13 ].…”

Difference in the Intestinal Microbiota between Breastfeed Infants and Infants Fed with Artificial Milk: A Systematic Review

“…Beneficial substances, created by specific microorganisms during fermentation, along with prebiotics, impacted the infant M. Changes in GM are specifically caused by a novel combination of bioactive substances generated by Streptococcus thermophilus ST065 and Bifidobacterium breve C50. L. Béghin et al investigated, in their controlled, double-blind study, the comparison of F containing these substances and prebiotics to standard F and breastfed infants [99]. Over six months, various parameters were monitored, including stool secretory IgA (SIgA) concentration.…”

A novel nerol-segmented waterborne polyurethane coating for the prevention of dental erosion

“…The most common of these is fluoride, which prevents tooth demineralisation and promotes surface remineralisation in an acidic environment. 3 Topical application of fluoride is safe, but excessive fluoride intake over a long period of time can lead to symptoms of chronic fluorosis such as dental fluorosis, osteofluorosis, loss of muscle strength and low haemoglobin. 4 Therefore, new techniques in contemporary dentistry are necessary to provide more effective strategies.…”
