Intraoral scanner-based monitoring of tooth wear in young adults: 36-month results.

Objectives: The study continues our longitudinal observation of wear aiming to further monitoring of progression and lesion morphology and to identify relationships with assumed aetiological factors.

Materials And Methods: Molars (FDI #36 or #46) of 74 participants (23.8 ± 2.

Intraoral scanner-based monitoring of tooth wear in young adults: 24-month results.

Objectives: Tooth wear causes irreversible cumulated surface loss and already occurs at a young age. Therefore, the objective of this clinical prospective observational study was to monitor the occlusal surface of a mandibular first molar in young adults for a period of 24 months. Furthermore, potential aetiological factors obtained by a questionnaire were considered.

The Suitability of Questionnaires for Exploring Relations of Dietary Behavior and Tooth Wear.

Tooth wear is a relevant oral health problem, especially at a young age. Although ongoing acid exposures may contribute to tooth wear, the role of acidic dietary components in this context remains unclear. To date, in tooth wear studies, dietary behavior has been assessed using traditional questionnaires, but the suitability of this approach has not been investigated so far.
