Although it is not certain that all cases of damage actually are the result of gastro-oesophageal reflux, and the data presented possibly overestimate the true prevalence, dental erosions as a complication of gastro-oesophageal reflux are likely to occur in a large number of patients. These are called the primary teeth, baby teeth, or milk teeth and there are 20 in all. There was, however, a significant association between duration of complaints and presence of damage in the upper incisors. No complaints were significantly associated with the presence or absence of dental damage. Facial type was also examined for effect upon intrusion achieved.
Damage in the upper incisors was present in 32.5% of the cases, in the lower incisors in 7.8%, and in both in 26.9%. A comparison was made of incisor intrusion achieved in adults and children with deep bite. A basic understanding of human teeth not only includes the anatomy but also the alignment and positions of each type of tooth. The term incisors were derived from the Latin word ‘incidere’, which means ‘to cut’. Molars are grown to be extremely strong to. A complete dental prosthesis was present in 46.8% of the patients, the remainder had a complete set of teeth or a partial dental prosthesis. The incisors are a set of chisel-shaped teeth located on the anterior part of the oral cavity. A healthy set of teeth will have 12 molars arranged in the back of the mouth. A questionnaire was sent to 293 consecutive patients in whom reflux oesophagitis was diagnosed endoscopically. A retrospective non-controlled inventory study was done in order to assess the dental status, with specific attention paid to the incisor teeth, in patients with reflux oesophagitis.
