Prevalence, Incidence and Distribution of Erosion

摘要: There is some evidence that the presence of erosion growing steadily. Because different scoring systems, samples and examiners, it difficult to compare judge outcome studies. Preschool children aged between 2 5 years showed on deciduous teeth in 6-50% subjects. Young schoolchildren (aged 5-9) already had erosive lesions permanent 14% cases. In adolescent group 9 17) 11-100% young people examined signs erosion. Incidence data (= increase subjects with erosion) evaluated three these studies were 12% over years, 18% 27% 1.5 years. adults 18 88), prevalence ranged 4 82%. are scarce; only one study was found this an incidence 5% for younger older tooth surfaces erosion). Prevalence indicated males somewhat more wear than females. The distribution a predominance occlusal (especially mandibular first molars), followed by facial (anterior maxillary teeth). Oral frequently incisors canines. Overall, not homogeneous. Nevertheless, there trend pronounced rate age groups. Therefore, important detect at-risk patients early initiate adequate preventive measures.
