Overview
The submitted rewiew presents a relationship between gastroesophageal reflux disease ( GERD) and oral health. The main affection in the mouth is a dental erosion. Dental erosion is defined as the progressive loss of hard dental tissues caused by a chemical process not involving bacterial action. Important by loss of tooth surface is also salivary production and buffering capacity. We modified the Eccles-Jenkins tooth wear index with fillings and prosthetics restorationes.
Key words:
gastroesophageal reflex disease (GERD) – dental erosion – normal and stimulated salivary flow rate – buffering capacity
