Abstract:
Dental erosion is a progressive loss and damage of tooth hard tissues caused by contacting acidic substances. It is an occupational disease for workers who make acidic products such as acids, vinegar, etc. In the past decades, a rising of prevalence rate of dental erosion, especially in the youth groups, along with the change of dietary habits and the increased consumption of sweet and acidic diets, has attracted public′s attention. This article reviews and analyzes the literature on the prevalence, etiology, prevention and treatment of dental erosion, so as to provide guidance for early diagnosis and treatment of dental erosion and support for making occupational disease prevention strategies.
