Ризик фактори и интензитет на дентални ерозии на трајни инцизиви и први перманентни молари

Abstract

AIM: The aim of our pilot study was to determine the prevalence of dental erosion, the impact of beverages on the level of damage to the permanent teeth.MATERIAL AND METODS: For the purpose of the study we have included 105 respondents with positive indications of dental erosion aged 10 to 60 and < 60 years, and on specially prepared forms we have noted the extent of erosion and beverage consumption habits.RESULTS: The results of the level of erosion on the respondents' first permanent incisors indicated that on age 10-29 they were with surface enamel loss, and with patient's age the erosion was more present, where besides the loss of enamel there was presence of exposed dentin. Studies of the dental erosion on first permanent molars, related to the depth, depending on the age of respondents, indicated different clinical pictures. There was no respondent with enamel within normal limits. Surface loss was most present among respondents aged 10-29, loss of enamel with exposed dentin had the majority of respondents from the elderly group that also had respondents with attacked enamel and dentin but also an exposed pulp. The results show that most of the respondents consumed soft drinks 3-5 times a day, while most of them where male, and the consumption of fruit juices several times a day unfortunately was as present among male as among female respondents. There was positive correlation between the consumption of soft drinks and fruit juices in the total sample of respondents with dental erosion and all groups of respondents (Ñ€ < 0.05), and between male and female respondents (Ñ€ < 0.00). CONCLUSON: In conclusion, it is necessary to prepare a study by exploring the most influential etiological factors that would help in structuring preventive strategies.
