Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of dental erosion and to investigate possible
associations among dental erosion and medical history, dietary and lifestyle habits in a sample of adolescents in
Greece.
Study design: The study sample consisted of 770 adolescents, 374 boys and 396 girls aged 13 to 16 years. All individuals
were clinically examined and answered questions regarding their medical history, rate and frequency of
drinks and food consumption and lifestyle habits. Statistical analysis of the questionnaire items was performed by
using the multiple logistic regression analysis model.
Results: Two hundreds and sixty adolescents were diagnosed as having dental erosion, giving a prevalence rate
33.8%. The habit of holding drinks in the mouth before swallowing [OR=2.85, 95% CI=1.45-5.58] (p=0.002), the
ingestion of acidic drinks at bedtime [OR=0.24, 95% CI=0.11-0.53] (p=0.000), the consumption of car- bonated
drinks [OR=3.99, 95% CI=1.37-11.59] (p=0.011) and fruit juices [OR=0.12, 95% CI=0.04-0.38] (p=0.000) were
the most important associated factors of dental erosion.
Conclusions: The prevalence of dental erosion in the study sample was 33.8% while dental erosion experience was
associated with frequency and habits of consumption of some dietary components.
