A new condition, the voluntary reflux phenomenon, causes dental erosion through repeated exposure to gastric acid. Dentists may be the first to recognize this condition, which has distinct features and psychiatric implications.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Gastroenterology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Recurrent gastric acid reflux is a known cause of dental erosion.
  • Several conditions can lead to this acid exposure.

Observation:

  • A novel condition, termed the 'voluntary reflux phenomenon', is described.
  • Illustrative case histories are presented, detailing similar cases.

Findings:

  • The voluntary reflux phenomenon presents unique features distinguishing it from other causes of gastric acid-mediated dental erosion.
  • This condition may be initially identified by dental professionals.

Implications:

  • The condition may have significant psychiatric implications.
  • Early recognition by dentists is crucial for appropriate management.
