Resumen
Dental erosion or wear is a non-carious lesion whose incidence has been increasing
drastically in recent years in children and adolescents as a result of a greater intake
of foods with a high acid content (carbonated beverages). The consumption of
products and supplements rich in vitamin C in the last two years have added to these
acid supplies as part of a healthy diet for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19.
Due to their low pH and their high frequency of intake, these foods affect dental
demineralization. The following article describes a case report of a pediatric patient
of 8 years and 10 months of age, who presented dental erosion in 13 of his 14
deciduous teeth, for the diagnosis the observational method based on the Smith TWI
index was used. and Knight, locating the affected dental surfaces, for the treatment
a conventional prevention intervention plan and the minimally invasive one was
used, obtaining positive results in terms of functionality, aesthetics and patient selfesteem.
