The objective of this study was to explore the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic factors and a high cumulative score of the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) in a Chilean adult group. A cross-sectional study was performed with the Ethics Committee’s approval from the Universidad de los Andes. A consecutive adult (18 to 46 years old)...

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine predictors of erosive tooth wear (ETW) progression, using novel primary-care quantitative analysis techniques. Methods In a single-centre, prospective, observational cohort longitudinal study, adolescents, aged 11-18 years, underwent a baseline BEWE examination, validated risk factors questionnaire...

Objetivo: El objetivo fue definir los contenidos mínimos y sus indicadores de aplicación clínica en el currículo de cariología para las escuelas de odontología chilenas.

Identifying the risk factors for dental caries is vital in epidemiology and clinical practices for developing effective preventive strategies, both, at the individual and collective levels. Different causality/determination models have been proposed to understand the development process of dental caries. In the present review, we designed a model i...

This paper explains how to screen tooth wear in general practice using the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index. It explains how stakeholders in the UK acknowledged the convenience of the BEWE and that it could be recorded at the same time as the Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE). The article contains examples of anterior and posterior too...

An important number of pathogenic factors make it well e...

We have analyzed the principles for the diagnostic of root caries and its etiology. We have defined preventives and restoratives measures that the general practitioner or the specialist can indicate. We discussed the results and prognostic effects of these procedures.
