| Abstract:
|
Dental erosion may be defined as loss of tooth structure when exposed to extrinsic (dietary sources) or intrinsic acids (endogenous source). Nutritional status of an individual, salivary components, co-morbid conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, exposure to mechanical stressors such as abrasion and attrition may increase the severity of tooth erosion. Evidence gathered through experimental analysis, randomized control studies, meta-analysis have revealed a significant association of GERD with tooth erosion. The aim of this study was to identify the association between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and dental erosion employing a text-mining process. An extensive literature study was carried out from Scopus and Pubmed databases to collect information relating to GERD and tooth erosion. Since dental clinicians are the first person to diagnose GERD in the case of silent reflux, the topic is of prime importance while diagnosing and treating GERD mediated tooth erosion. A thorough clinical examination and prompt treatment could aid in alleviating the consequences.
