Prevalence of Dental Erosion and Consumption Behavior toward Acidic Food and Beverage in Patients of Comprehensive Dental Clinic, Chiang Mai University
Objectives: To determine the prevalence of dental erosion and consumption behavior toward acidic food and beverage in patients of comprehensive dental clinic, Chiang Mai University.
Methodology: Oral photographs of 307 samples were assessed for dental erosion and the modified basic erosive wear examination index was used to classify their teeth according to the presence, severity and risk level of dental erosion. Those of 307 samples were selected to 32 samples by purposive random sampling method for group discussion. The group discussion was done on prepared topics related to consumption behavior toward acidic food and beverage.
Results: Of the samples 90.5% had dental erosion. Gender was found significantly associated with dental erosion (p=0.007). Lower dental arch was found erosive lesion invaded dentine more than upper arch (p=0.000) and affected lower posterior sextants more than other sextants. Group discussion with the samples suggested that most of the participants had consumed acidic food and beverage such as lemonade to maintain their general health.
Conclusions: The patients in comprehensive dental clinic had a high prevalence of dental erosion. They were group of people who interested in health care and trend to consume more acidic food resulted in higher risk of dental erosion. Dentists should determine risk behavior for dental erosion of their patients and make a proper suggestion.
