Erosion

Erosion, caused by regular exposure of dental tissues to acids, leads to accelerated damage, affecting aesthetics and restorability. Its prevalence is rising and is categorized as Intrinsic (e.g., GERD, eating disorders) or Extrinsic. Common intrinsic factors include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and vomiting associated with eating disorders.
Patients with erosive localized anterior wear often report poor aesthetics, sensitivity, and reduced inter-occlusal space, complicating restoration. Lower anterior teeth are typically shielded by tongue movements during acid expulsion. Traditional treatment involves Dhal appliances.

Minimally invasive management, such as direct composite placement, preserves tooth structure and supports future repairs. While traditional layered composites require frequent repairs and maintenance due to issues like chipping, fractures, and staining; the Bioclear Method offers superior durability, reduced voids, improved compressive strength, and minimizes fractures, chipping, and staining. It enables full-coverage anterior veneers or crowns with excellent aesthetics and long-term outcomes, providing a modern, reliable solution for erosive wear.
