Erosion1

• As dental erosion commonly occurs in conjunction with abrasive processes, it is now termed "erosive tooth wear" [ 3 ]. (beds.ac.uk)

Tooth2

• Once erosive tooth wear is established, prevention of further loss of dental tissue is important, not only because of the high cost of the necessary dental work, but also because of the common sequelae of oral hypersensitivity, functional and aesthetic impairment. (beds.ac.uk)
• To the best of our knowledge, no systematic study relating to the prevention of progression of erosive tooth wear caused by GERD has been reported, except a small pilot project examining optical coherence tomography as a tool for quantifying dental reflux damage [ 6 ]. (beds.ac.uk)
