Resumen
Acid erosion should be treated according to its multifactorial etiology. This case report describes a patient with tooth wear caused by daily intake of acidic carbonated beverages. After meticulous clinical and radiographic analysis, the clinician restored the teeth temporarily with chemically cured glass ionomer cement. Afterward, the patient underwent basic periodontal therapy with scaling and coronal polishing. The patient received guidance regarding daily oral hygiene and eating habits to control the ingestion of acidic drinks. After reestablishing adequate oral conditions, the clinician placed direct composite resin restorations on the maxillary anterior teeth that displayed dental erosion. The clinical procedures improved the patient’s oral health as well as the form, esthetics, and function of the worn teeth.
