Current erosion indices--flawed or valid? Summary Young A; Amaechi BT; Dugmore C; Holbrook P; Nunn J; Schiffner U; Lussi A; Ganss CClin Oral Investig 2008[Mar]; 12 Suppl 1 (Suppl 1): S59-63The problem of erosive tooth wear appears increasingly to be encountered by clinicians and researchers. An adequate way of defining and recording erosive tooth wear is essential in order to assess the extent of this clinical phenomenon, both on an individual level and in the population, and for the adequate provision of preventive and therapeutic measures. Well-established erosion indices have been used in most of these studies, although in many cases modifications have been made to suit the different research aims. This use of different indices is one reason why it still cannot be claimed that there is enough current knowledge on this clinical phenomenon. This article summarises the proceedings of a workshop to discuss the topic of dental erosion indices. The result of the workshop is the proposal for a new scoring system (Basic Erosive Wear Examination, BEWE) designed for use both within the research field and for dental clinicians, with the aims of standardising assessment of erosion for international comparisons, raising awareness and providing guidelines for treatment of erosive tooth wear in dental practice.|Dental Enamel/pathology[MESH]|Diagnosis, Differential[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Odontometry/*methods[MESH]|Prevalence[MESH]|Reproducibility of Results[MESH]|Severity of Illness Index[MESH]|Tooth Abrasion/classification/*diagnosis/epidemiology[MESH]|Tooth Attrition/classification/*diagnosis/epidemiology[MESH]|Tooth Erosion/classification/*diagnosis/epidemiology[MESH] |
