ABSTRACT
Aim: To determine in a sample of Spanish adolescents their knowledge of dental erosion and the food, drinks and eating habits that produce it.
Material and methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out. The sample consisted of 348 adolescents between 12 and 17 years old. Their knowledge of dental erosion and its etiological factors was assessed through a questionnaire.
Results: 17.82% reported knowing dental erosion, 26.44% had only heard of it and 62.35% mistakenly thought that the terms erosion and caries were equivalent. When relating knowledge about the foods that cause dental erosion
and the age of the participants, it was observed that the group of 16-17 years knew in a significantly higher percentage the erosive capacity of the orange
(p ‹0.05), the lemon ( p ‹0.05), strawberry
(p ‹0.01) and kiwi (p ‹0.01). This was also observed with soft drinks (p ‹0.01) and isotonic drinks (p ‹0.01).
Conclusions: The level of knowledge about dental erosion was generally low, increasing with age. The erosive capacity of citrus fruits and soft drinks is better known among adolescents than that of other foods or drinks.
