牙齿酸蚀症实验室评估技术的研究进展

牙齿酸蚀症是指在无细菌参与的情况下,仅由化学作用而导致的牙齿硬组织不可逆性丧失。近年来,由于饮食结构的改变和各种饮料的流行,牙齿酸蚀症的发病率明显提高,因此,牙齿酸蚀症也越来越受到关注,而且有多种研究技术被用于牙齿酸蚀症的评估。本文就牙齿酸蚀症实验室评估技术的研究进展作一综述。

Research progress on laboratory assessment of tooth erosion

Tooth erosion may be defined as an irreversible loss of dental hard tissues due to a chemical process without the involvement of microorganisms.Various surveys have shown that there is a high prevalence of tooth erosion,and the prevalence is likely to increase with the consumption of acidic drinks,so researchers are keen to quantify the amount of erosion that various beverages may cause.Many techniques have been used to investigate the loss of tooth substance during erosion.This review focused on the research progress on laboratory assessment of tooth erosion.
