The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental erosion in an adult population in Switzerland. 391 randomly selected persons from two age groups (26-30 and 46-50 yr) were examined for frequency and severity of erosion on all tooth surfaces. Information was gathered by interview about lifestyle, dietary and oral health habits. For facial surfaces 7.7% of the younger age group and 13.2% of the older age group showed at least one tooth affected with erosion with involvement of dentin (grade 2). 3.5 teeth per person in the younger and 2.8 teeth per person in the older age group were affected. Occlusally, at least one severe erosion was observed in 29.9% of the younger and 42.6% of the older sample with 3.2 and 3.9 erosion-affected teeth per person, respectively. 3.6% of the younger age group and 6.1% of the older age group showed slight lingual erosion on the maxillary anterior teeth. Severe lingual erosions were scarce. Data from interviews and multiple regression analyses revealed that acids from beverages are significantly associated with presence of erosion.
本研究的目的是确定瑞士成年人群中牙齿侵蚀的患病率。从两个年龄组（26 - 30岁和46 - 50岁）中随机选取391人，检查所有牙齿表面侵蚀的频率和严重程度。通过访谈收集有关生活方式、饮食和口腔健康习惯的信息。在面部表面，较年轻年龄组中有7.7%、较年长年龄组中有13.2%的人至少有一颗牙齿出现累及牙本质的侵蚀（2级）。较年轻年龄组人均有3.5颗牙齿、较年长年龄组人均有2.8颗牙齿受到影响。在咬合面，较年轻样本中有29.9%、较年长样本中有42.6%的人观察到至少一处严重侵蚀，人均分别有3.2颗和3.9颗受侵蚀的牙齿。较年轻年龄组中有3.6%、较年长年龄组中有6.1%的人上颌前牙出现轻微舌面侵蚀。严重舌面侵蚀较少见。访谈数据和多元回归分析表明，饮料中的酸与侵蚀的存在显著相关。
