Dental erosion currently stands as a great challenge for the clinician, regarding the diagnosis, identification of the etiological factors, prevention and execution of an adequate treatment.
To evaluate the prevalence, severity, and associated factors on dental erosion in 11-16-years old.
A cross sectional study was conducted among 2000 school children who were randomly selected. A questionnaire was given to the children that included personal demographic details and habit of consuming acidic foods and drinks. An index specific for dental erosion given by O Sullivan was used to assess every affected tooth. The values were subjected to chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression analysis.
The prevalence of dental erosion was found to be 1.4%. Females (1.6%) were slightly more affected than males (1.3%). Public school children (2.1%) were found to be affected a little more than private children (0.7%). Chi square test showed significant association between type of school and erosion prevalence (p = 0.015). Most commonly affected teeth were lateral incisor (59.72%).
The prevalence of dental erosion was found to be low when compared to various studies done all over the world.
目前，牙齿侵蚀在诊断、病因识别、预防以及实施适当治疗方面给临床医生带来了巨大挑战。
评估11至16岁青少年牙齿侵蚀的患病率、严重程度及相关因素。
对随机选取的2000名学童进行了横断面研究。向孩子们发放了一份问卷，内容包括个人人口统计学细节以及食用酸性食物和饮料的习惯。采用奥沙利文给出的牙齿侵蚀特定指数对每颗患牙进行评估。对这些数值进行卡方检验和多因素逻辑回归分析。
发现牙齿侵蚀的患病率为1.4%。女性（1.6%）受影响程度略高于男性（1.3%）。公立学校的儿童（2.1%）比私立学校的儿童（0.7%）受影响程度稍高。卡方检验显示学校类型与侵蚀患病率之间存在显著关联（p = 0.015）。最常受影响的牙齿是侧切牙（59.72%）。
与世界各地开展的各项研究相比，牙齿侵蚀的患病率较低。
