“…More educated adults tend to consume a healthier diet and maintain better oral hygiene practices, potentially explaining the greater association of TW in adults with lower education [48,56].…”

BackgroundTooth wear (TW) prevalence is high and increasing and has important consequences on the patient's quality of life. Knowledge of risk factors is crucial to promote diagnosis, prevention strategies and timely interceptive treatment. Many studies have identified TW risk factors.ObjectiveThis scoping review aims to map and describe suspected available factors associated with TW in permanent dentition based on quantitative measurement.MethodsThe scoping review was conducted using the PRISMA extension of the Scoping Reviews checklist. The search was conducted in October 2022 from the Medline® (PubMed® interface) and Scopus® databases. Two independent reviewers selected and characterised the studies.Results2702 articles were identified for assessment of titles and abstracts, and 273 articles were included in the review. The results show a need to standardise TW measurement indices and the study design. The included studies highlighted various factors, classified into nine domains: sociodemographic factors, medical history, drinking habits, eating habits, oral hygiene habits, dental factors, bruxism and temporomandibular disorders, behavioural factors, and stress. Results related to chemical TW (erosion) risk factors underline the importance of eating disorders, gastroesophageal reflux and lifestyle, particularly drinking and eating behaviours, which supports developing public health information campaigns and interventions. Besides chemical, this review identifies evidence of several mechanical TW risk factors, such as toothbrushing and bruxism; the influence of this last factor needs to be further explored.ConclusionsTW management and prevention require a multidisciplinary approach. Dentists are in the first line to detect associated diseases such as reflux or eating disorders. Consequently, practitioners' information and guideline diffusion should be promoted, and a TW risk factors checklist (the ToWeR checklist) is proposed to help diagnostic approaches.

“… 28 A study by Al-Khalifa revealed that 83.5% of the adult population had tooth wear in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia. 29 According to a review by Al-Ansari, the general population in Saudi Arabia had a high prevalence and severity of caries with an alarming increase in DMFT rates. 30 Bleeding gums are affected by systematic and local factors such as oral hygiene, smoking, and diabetes, and studies in eastern Saudi Arabia discussed the relationship between bleeding gums and smoking and diabetes.…”

Purpose The purpose of study was to investigate dental anxiety (DA) and its relationship with oral health problems, dental visits, and socio-demographic factors among physicians. Patients and Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted on physicians working in Dhahran, Khobar, Dammam, and Qatif cities of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The study included physicians (general practitioners, residents, specialists, and consultants) working in the public and private sectors. Modified Dental Anxiety Scale and World Health Organization’s Oral Health Questionnaire for Adults were used to evaluate DA, oral health problems, and dental attendance. Results The study included data from 355 participants with a mean age of 40.13 ± 10.45 years. There were 57.2% of non-Saudi and 42.8% of Saudi participants in the study. Bad dental experience in the previous dental visit was reported by 40% of participants, which was significantly related to DA (P = 0.002). Only 9.60% of participants had no DA, whereas 41.10% demonstrated low DA, 23.4% moderate DA, 18.9% high DA, and 7% extreme DA. Common oral problems included tooth sensitivity (65.40%), tooth cavities (45.90%), bleeding gums (43.10%), and bad breath (36.90%). More than half of participants (58.3%) visited the dentist during the last year and dental pain was the most common reason for dental visits (31.3%). Saudi participants demonstrated significantly increased DA than non-Saudis (P = 0.019). DA was significantly related to tooth sensitivity (P = 0.001), tooth cavities (P = 0.002), dry mouth (P = 0.044), and bad breath (P = 0.005). The participants with difficulty in biting foods (P > 0.001) and feeling embarrassed due to the appearance of teeth (P < 0.001) demonstrated significantly higher DA. Conclusion This sample of physicians showed a high prevalence of DA, oral problems, and dental visits due to pain. DA was significantly related to physicians’ negative dental experience, tooth sensitivity, dental decay, dry mouth, and bad breath.
