摘要
Objective: To investigate the association between gastro-oesophageal reflux and dental erosion. Methods: Observation of dental erosion patterns suggestive of gastro-oesophageal reflux and a review of the literature. Results: Gastro-oesophageal reflux with regurgitation into the mouth will cause acid erosion of the palatal surfaces of the upper incisor teeth in susceptible individuals. Eroded teeth can be a presenting feature in diagnosing gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). In patients without any obvious symptoms of reflux, the teeth may be the only clinical sign indicating the presence of GORD. Conclusions: Damage to teeth after long periods of undiagnosed GORD can be catastrophic requiring very expensive and complicated dental treatment. It is important that the appearance of the palatal surfaces of the upper incisor teeth are examined in patients suspected of suffering from GORD.
