- Authors
ALBAKER, ABDULAZIZ M.
- Abstract
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) has different signs and symptom depending on the severity of the disease. One of the early signs is dental erosion. It results from reflux of the gastric contents into the oral cavity. Dental erosion can cause teeth sensitivity, dental caries, lost vertical dimension and dental aesthetic problems. To restore the function and the aesthetic of the oral cavity, full mouth rehabilitation is sometimes indicated. The current case report is about a 45-year-old male who was diagnosed with GERD resulting in dental erosion. He underwent full mouth rehabilitation.
