Tooth wear is an increasingly common problem that affects the quality of life. Although previous research suggested that oral health is adversely affected in individuals with Parkinson's disease (PD) compared to healthy controls, tooth wear has not been extensively studied in this context. Particularly, there is a paucity of data on the prevalence and risk factors associated with tooth wear in PD patients. The aim of this study is to review the current literature on the prevalence and risk factors of tooth wear in PD patients and to propose hypotheses for future research on this topic. A literature search was conducted in PubMed. A total of 4 publications were identified: 1 case report and 3 questionnaire-based studies. These articles suggest that tooth wear is a more significant issue in PD patients than in healthy controls. In addition, potential associations between oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL), bruxism and temporomandibular disorder (TMD) pain on the one hand, and tooth wear on the other hand, were identified in PD patients. Due to the limited number of articles published on this topic, it is not possible to definitively conclude whether tooth wear is a common problem in PD patients. However, the following hypotheses could be formulated: 1) tooth wear is more prevalent in PD patients than in healthy controls; 2) risk factors for tooth wear observed in healthy individuals are more prevalent among PD patients; and 3) multiple risk factors for tooth wear likely coexist in people with PD, potentially influencing the prevalence and progression of tooth wear in this population.
牙齿磨损是一个日益普遍的问题，影响着生活质量。尽管先前的研究表明，与健康对照组相比，帕金森病（PD）患者的口腔健康受到不利影响，但在这方面，牙齿磨损尚未得到广泛研究。特别是，关于 PD 患者牙齿磨损的患病率和相关风险因素的数据很少。本研究旨在综述 PD 患者牙齿磨损的患病率和风险因素的现有文献，并为该主题的未来研究提出假设。在 PubMed 上进行了文献检索。共确定了 4 篇文献：1 篇病例报告和 3 篇基于问卷调查的研究。这些文章表明，与健康对照组相比，PD 患者的牙齿磨损问题更为严重。此外，PD 患者的口腔健康相关生活质量（OHRQoL）、磨牙症和颞下颌关节紊乱（TMD）疼痛之间存在潜在关联，而这些因素与牙齿磨损有关。由于关于这个主题的文章数量有限，因此无法确定 PD 患者的牙齿磨损是否是一个常见问题。然而，可以提出以下假设：1）PD 患者的牙齿磨损比健康对照组更为普遍；2）在健康个体中观察到的牙齿磨损的风险因素在 PD 患者中更为普遍；3）PD 患者中可能存在多种牙齿磨损的风险因素，这些因素可能会影响该人群中牙齿磨损的患病率和进展。
