In this review, history, action mechanism, Dental erosion is defined as dental hard tissue loss with the effect of acid resulting from any kind of chemical reaction in the absence of bacterial causes.

But when this is not possible, tooth structure can be strengthened with preventive treatment approaches such as application of fluoride-containing varnish, CPP-ACP cream, toothpaste, and mouth rinse containing high-fluoride, laser and fluoride gel. In the excessive tooth wear, the traditional type of glass ionomer cements, resin-modified glass ionomer cements, polyacid modified composite resins (compomer) and a resin composite material is preferred as restorative material.

In this review, etiologic factors and treatment of dental erosion was presented
