Lesões não cariosas erosivas de origem intrínseca: diagnóstico precoce e interdisciplinaridade

Abstract

The teeth, beyond dental caries, are affected by injuries without bacterial involvement denominated non-carious lesions- LNC. The erosion, structural loss by the intrinsic or extrinsic acids, its plays an important role in the establishment of generalized condition of dental destruction. The intrinsic erosion is caused by acid gastric regurgitation, which is externalized to the oral cavity by reflux or vomiting. Some medical responsibility disorders may develop intrinsic erosion, such as anorexia, bulimia and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The diagnosis of these cases by the advanced loss of dental structure is suggestive, but the challenge consist in early diagnosis in order to avoid the establishment or recrudescence of dental erosion, by multidisciplinary. The study, had as objective, elaborate a roadmap with focus in early diagnosis of intrinsic erosion. The protocol was developed through the scientific literature and interviews with medical experts which clinical experience refers to the treatment of patients witch systemic complications with possible erosion development. This study aimed to draw up a roadmap with a focus on early diagnosis of intrinsic erosion by means of a protocol that was based on information from. A pilot questionnaire was applied with academics of dental school of the Federal University of Santa Maria, it show up self-explanatory with easy and quick application. The use of this guide in an instrument to accomplish accurately early diagnosis and with an interdisciplinary approach.
