Relationship between bariatric surgery and dental erosion: a systematic review.

Background: Bariatric surgery can have several oral repercussions, including tooth erosion due to decreased salivary flow associated with the action of acidic pH and behavioral modifications in the diet that lead to the dissolution of mineralized dental tissues.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether bariatric surgery presented a greater risk of dental erosion.

Setting: Dentistry School, Pernambuco University, Camaragibe, Pernambuco, Brazil.
