Abstract

This review study explores the realm of addressing erosion in general dental practice, highlighting a multifaceted and ever-evolving approach. The key lies in measures such as educating patients, offering dietary advice, and using treatments like fluoride varnishes and CPP ACP products. These methods empower individuals to make decisions, creating an environment that tackles issues and promotes long-term oral health. Encouraging lifestyle changes and maintaining hygiene complement the effectiveness of preventive actions. Regular dental checkups play a role by enabling detection through clinical assessments and additional techniques, allowing for timely interventions to halt dental erosion progression. When dental erosion advances, early therapeutic steps are essential. Using demineralizing agents like varnishes and CPP ACP products alongside invasive restorations such as resin-based composites reflect a patient-focused approach to managing erosive damage. Decisions on restorations like crowns or veneers require careful evaluation of their benefits versus potential long-term consequences. Technological progressions like scanning and digital tools improve accuracy in monitoring changes, offering valuable information for timely actions. Innovations like glasses and laser applications present prospects, for the future of managing dental erosion. In the changing field of dentistry, research, advancements in technology, and teamwork across disciplines play a crucial role in improving and diversifying the tools and techniques used by dental professionals. This collaborative effort is essential for finding ways to address issues like erosion and enhancing the level of care offered to patients.
