- Abstract
Dental erosion is a frequent complication of patients with gastro-esophageal reflux disease. Loss of superficial enamel can be observed by a color change towards yellow and increased translucency of the teeth. The aim of our study was to analyze salivary parameters and dental erosion status in patients with gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and to evaluate optical properties (color parameters variation) and microstructural modifications (using atomic force microscopy) of eroded compared to healthy dental structures. The association of dental erosion and gastro-esophageal reflux disease was significant. Variations of ΔE are higher than general average variations of ΔL in these patients.
