title: [Acid erosions of tooth surface. 3. Prevention and therapy].
abstract: Tooth surface loss by erosion presents a challenge to the general practioner in terms of identification of patients at risk, diagnostic investigation and early therapy. The guidelines contain advice for changing the food habits and behaviour in oral hygiene. Patients, who prefer erosive products (fruits, juice, cola) or who vomit should use a bicarbonate mouthrinse to neutralize the acid. The spectrum of therapy reachs of simple fillings with glassionomer cements and composites to comprehensive crown therapy. Several particularities in the psychological care of patients with eating disorders are described.
