“…In contrast with others [Lussi and Schaffner, 2000;O'Sullivan and Curzon, 2000;Dugmore and Rock, 2004;Bardolia et al, 2010;Ratnayake and Ekanayake, 2010], the present study did not identify a significant positive association between erosive wear and carbonated soft drinks, not a unique result [Bartlett et al, 1998;van Rijkom et al, 2002;Milosevic et al, 2004]. The narrow 95% CIs show that if the increase in risk had been more than 5% the effect would have been significant.…”

“…The factor vitamin included all kinds of vitamins and did not discriminate between chewable vitamins and vitamins that are swallowed. There is some evidence that chewable vitamin C and erosion are connected [Hays et al, 1992;Maron, 1996;Ratnayake and Ekanayake, 2010]. In the present study, the use of vitamins may represent a lifestyle that increases the chance of erosive wear to progress.…”

Multifactorial Analysis of Factors Associated with the Incidence and Progression of Erosive Tooth Wear

To prevent erosive tooth wear, early diagnosis and identification of causative factors are essential. The aim of the present 3-year longitudinal study was to investigate the association between a broad collection of biological and behavioural factors and the incidence and progression of erosive tooth wear among adolescents. The study sample consisted of 656 attendees of a dental clinic with at baseline a mean age of 11.9 years (SD = 0.9). The criteria for the assessment of erosive wear were a modification of the erosion criteria developed by Lussi [Eur J Oral Sci 1996;104:191–198]. Information on biological and behavioural factors was gathered by clinical examinations (at baseline, after 1.5 and 3 years) and by self-reported questionnaires (completed semi-annually). Of the erosion-free children at baseline, 24.2% developed erosive wear. In children with erosion at baseline, 68.3% showed progression. Multivariate analyses showed significant associations between the incidence of erosive tooth wear and alcoholic mixed drinks (odds ratio, OR = 1.82), sour vegetables (OR = 1.16) and tooth grinding (OR = 4.03). The intake of yoghurt products was significantly negatively associated with the incidence of erosive wear (OR = 0.79). The interaction of acidic products and tooth grinding showed a significant extra risk (OR = 1.2). The intake of vitamins was positively associated with progression (OR = 2.03). Erosive wear was less likely to progress in subjects who consumed milk and yoghurt products (OR = 0.89 and 0.76, respectively). The present study showed that the aetiology of erosive tooth wear is complex. Possible aetiological factors include more than acidic drinks, and factors such as tooth grinding play a large role.

“…When adjusting for gender in the multivariate analysis, this association was not significant. These results corresponded with previously reported studies [El Aidi et al, 2011;Ratnayake and Ekanayake, 2010]. However, El Aidi et al [2011] did not find any significant association between erosive tooth wear (both incidence and progression) and swilling, direct swallowing or drinking from a straw.…”

Sour Sweets and Acidic Beverage Consumption Are Risk Indicators for Dental Erosion

et al. 2015

This study aimed to investigate the association between dental erosive wear and potential background, behavioural and dietary risk indicators and to assess whether there is a dose-response relationship between the level of acidic beverage consumption and dental erosive wear among adolescents. Of 846 adolescents (aged 16-18 years) scheduled for dental recall examinations, 795 (94%) accepted to participate. All participants completed a self-administered questionnaire regarding their background (gender and age), tooth-brushing frequency and dietary habits (the amount and frequency of acidic food and beverage consumption as well as the chosen method and manner of consuming acidic drinks). The association between the presence of erosive lesions and the possible risk indicators was assessed by logistic regression analyses. Of all participants examined, 37% had ≥3 surfaces with dental erosions and were considered to be affected individuals. In the present study, multivariate logistic analyses revealed a significant association between the dental erosive wear and high consumption of sour sweets and sports drinks. The tooth-brushing frequency was not significantly associated with dental erosive wear. Additionally, to the best of our knowledge, the results are the first to indicate a dose-response relationship between the daily consumption of acidic drinks and dental erosive wear.

“…Tooth wear is considered to be a growing problem in several countries [Ratnayake and Ekanayake, 2010]. Although its prevalence varies a lot between the investigations, there is no evidence that this oral condition causes a negative impact on COHRQoL.…”

Tooth Erosion with Low Severity Does Not Impact Child Oral Health-Related Quality of Life

et al. 2010

Background: Prevalence data about tooth erosion has attracted increasing attention in the dental community; however, no study has addressed the impact of this condition on child oral health-related quality of life (COHRQoL). This study assessed the impact of tooth erosion on COHRQoL. Methods: This study followed a cross-sectional design, with a multistage random sample of 944 11- to 14-year-old children representative of Santa Maria, a southern city in Brazil. They were examined for recording the prevalence and severity of tooth erosion by 2 examiners. Children completed the Brazilian version of Child Perceptions Questionnaire (CPQ_11–14) and data about socioeconomic variables of the target population were collected by means of a structured questionnaire. The Poisson regression model using robust variance was performed to assess the association between the predictor variables and the outcomes. Results: Prevalence of tooth erosion (7.2%) and severity were low. Poisson regression models showed a distinct gradient in mean CPQ_11–14 scores by socioeconomic indicators. Children with tooth erosion with low levels of severity did not report higher means in the total scores or domains of CPQ_11–14. Conclusion: The presence of tooth erosion of low severity did not have a significant negative impact on the children’s perception of oral health or on their daily performance.
