Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Dentistry
  • Dental Public Health
  • Oral Health Research

Background:

  • Dental erosion is a growing concern in pediatric populations.
  • Understanding the prevalence and patterns of erosive lesions in children is essential for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence, severity, and distribution of dental erosive lesions in children aged 5-9 years in a rural Swiss region.
  • To assess potential correlations between erosive lesions and factors like saliva properties, oral hygiene, and nutrition.

Main Methods:

  • Clinical examination of 42 children (aged 5-9) assessing tooth surfaces (facial, occlusal, oral) for erosive lesions.
  • Evaluation of salivary flow rate, buffering capacity, oral hygiene status, and nutritional habits.
  • Statistical analysis to determine the impact of various factors on lesion occurrence.

Main Results:

  • All children exhibited degree 1 erosive lesions (enamel erosion) on occlusal surfaces.
  • Nearly half (47.6%) had degree 2 lesions (dentinal erosion).
  • Significant prevalence of occlusal erosive lesions was observed even on permanent teeth (14.3%) in this young age group.

Conclusions:

  • Erosive lesions are prevalent in young children, affecting both deciduous and permanent dentition.
  • No significant impact of age, gender, saliva parameters, oral hygiene, or nutrition was found on lesion occurrence.
  • Early detection and prompt implementation of preventive strategies are critical for managing dental erosion in children.
