          Possible role of tensile stress in the etiology of cervical erosive lesions of teeth.

          Mao-Yin Lee, W S Eakle (1984)
          A tensile stress hypothesis for the etiology of idiopathic cervical erosions of human teeth is presented. It is proposed that when occlusion is not ideal, lateral forces cause the teeth to bend. The tensile stresses created during bending disrupt the chemical bonds of the crystalline structures of enamel and dentin. Small molecules may enter between the crystals and prevent the reestablishment of the chemical bonds. As a result, the disrupted tooth structure is more susceptible to loss through dissolution and abrasion and results in the development of the typically wedge-shaped lesions. Patients with lesions typical of hundreds examined by the authors were presented to illustrate the concept. The possible consequences of the proposed hypothesis were discussed. The hypothetical conclusions made in this article will be tested by experimentation.

            Dental erosion in a population of Swiss adults.

            Sarah Suter, P Hotz, A Lussi … (1991)
            The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence of dental erosion in an adult population in Switzerland. 391 randomly selected persons from two age groups (26-30 and 46-50 yr) were examined for frequency and severity of erosion on all tooth surfaces. Information was gathered by interview about lifestyle, dietary and oral health habits. For facial surfaces 7.7% of the younger age group and 13.2% of the older age group showed at least one tooth affected with erosion with involvement of dentin (grade 2). 3.5 teeth per person in the younger and 2.8 teeth per person in the older age group were affected. Occlusally, at least one severe erosion was observed in 29.9% of the younger and 42.6% of the older sample with 3.2 and 3.9 erosion-affected teeth per person, respectively. 3.6% of the younger age group and 6.1% of the older age group showed slight lingual erosion on the maxillary anterior teeth. Severe lingual erosions were scarce. Data from interviews and multiple regression analyses revealed that acids from beverages are significantly associated with presence of erosion.

              Non-carious cervical lesions.

              L.C. Levitch, J.D. Bader, D.A. Shugars … (1994)
              Non-carious cervical lesions are commonly encountered in clinical practice and present in a variety of forms. A knowledge of the aetiology of these lesions is important for preventing further lesions, halting progression of lesions already present, and determining appropriate treatment. The most commonly cited aetiological factors thought to lead to the development of cervical lesions are erosion, abrasion and tooth flexure. Evidence supports a multifactorial aetiology for non-carious cervical lesions. The purpose of this paper is to review the evidence for each of these aetiological factors as it relates to the development of non-carious cervical lesions. Specific features of cervical lesions linked to these factors, including their morphology, location, prevalence and distribution by age and sex will be discussed. Suggestions for future research into the cause and prevention of non-carious cervical lesions will be presented.
