Para TAcid erosion (corrosion): Case reported
A 60-year-old female patient who, upon clinical
inspection, observed loss of enamel due to acid erosion in the
anterior-superior teeth. During the interrogation the patient tells that
he ingests large quantities of lemon and natural oranges. This dietary
habit causes acid erosion due to the citric acid content contained in
these fruits.
Note in the lower images the extensive deterioration of the enamel,
which leads in some places to the exposure of the dentin. As the process
is gradual, the patient does not have painful symptoms to the thermal
stimulus.
This type of injury is classified on a scale of mild, moderate and
severe, as serious and should be treated with aesthetic coatings based
on resin or porcelain. Failure to treat these injuries can lead to tooth
decay with the loss of teeth. Another action to consider is the
possibility of a change in diet, based on the decrease in the frequency
of lemon and orange intake.
