The aim of the present study was to describe awareness and attitudes related to dental erosive wear among 18-yr-old adolescents in Oslo and to explore attitudinal differences between participants with and without the condition. All 18-yr-old subjects scheduled for their routine examination at the Public Dental Service clinics during 2008 (n = 3,206) were invited, and 1,456 agreed to participate (a response rate of 45%). The data were collected using structured questionnaires and by clinical examination of the participants. Dental erosive wear was assessed using a pictorial manual - the Visual Erosion Dental Examination scoring system - as a guide. Overall, 88% of participants had heard about dental erosive wear; however, of participants with erosive lesions only 56% were aware of, and only 47% could recall their dentist mentioning, the condition. Participants with erosive wear were more likely to have low or moderate positive attitudes towards acidic drink consumption and to be reluctant to change. In multivariate analyses controlling for gender and behavioural variables, weak or moderate positive awareness of acidic drinks remained significantly associated with higher erosion risk. This study emphasizes the importance of assessment and understanding of awareness and attitudinal aspects in relation to dental erosive wear.
本研究的目的是描述奥斯陆18岁青少年对牙齿酸蚀磨损的认知和态度，并探讨患此病与未患此病的参与者之间的态度差异。邀请了2008年在公共牙科服务诊所安排进行常规检查的所有18岁受试者（n = 3206），1456人同意参与（回复率为45%）。通过使用结构化问卷和对参与者进行临床检查来收集数据。以一本图片手册——视觉牙齿侵蚀检查评分系统作为指导来评估牙齿酸蚀磨损。总体而言，88%的参与者听说过牙齿酸蚀磨损；然而，在有侵蚀性病变的参与者中，只有56%意识到这种情况，只有47%能回忆起他们的牙医提到过这种情况。有侵蚀性磨损的参与者对饮用酸性饮料更可能持低度或中度积极态度，并且不愿意改变。在控制了性别和行为变量的多变量分析中，对酸性饮料的微弱或中度积极认知仍然与更高的侵蚀风险显著相关。本研究强调了评估和理解与牙齿酸蚀磨损相关的认知和态度方面的重要性。
