Dental erosion is increasingly recognized as a common condition in paediatric dentistry with complications of tooth sensitivity, altered aesthetics and loss of occlusal vertical dimension. The prevalence of erosion in children has been reported to range from 10% to over 80%. The primary dentition is thought to be more susceptible to erosion compared to the permanent dentition due to the thinner and less mineralized enamel. The aim of this paper was to critically review dental erosion in children with regards to its prevalence, aetiology, diagnosis and prevention. The associations between erosion and other common conditions in children such as caries and enamel hypoplasia are also discussed.
牙齿酸蚀症在儿科牙科中越来越被认为是一种常见病症，其并发症包括牙齿敏感、美观改变和咬合垂直距离丧失。据报道，儿童中酸蚀症的患病率在 10%到 80%以上不等。由于乳牙的牙釉质更薄、矿化程度更低，因此相对于恒牙，乳牙更容易受到酸蚀的影响。本文旨在对儿童牙齿酸蚀症的患病率、病因、诊断和预防进行批判性综述，并讨论酸蚀症与儿童中其他常见病症（如龋齿和釉质发育不全）之间的关系。
