Summary

Study to determine if whether or not exist an association between the tissue loss (ETW progression) and the frequency of an acidic diet. To accomplish the aim, a quantitative analysis of intraoral scans of study models will be performed to identify erosive tooth wear progression in a group of Chilean adolescents. First, participants with different intake of dietary acids will be compared in terms of their baseline sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Second, the association between baseline frequency of dietary acids and changes in volume loss over time will be evaluated using linear mixed models to account for the data structure (repeated assessments nested within teeth and teeth nested within children). Models will be adjusted for demographic factors, family socioeconomic position, health behaviours and chronic conditions.

Conditions

• Tooth Erosion
• Tooth Wear
• Erosion
• Dental Erosion

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	No intervention, (observational study).	From every participant the following information was recorded for further analysis: * BEWE score- Basic erosive tooth wear examination (from 2 calibrated examiners) to diagnose the presence of erosive tooth wear. * Their answer to a validated questionnaire assessing the dietary habits based in the frequency of acidic diet. * 2 Intra oral scans (IOS): Baseline and follow up (1 year after baseline) to perform a quantification of tissue loss (in Volume loss per mm3) using Wearcompare software.
