title: The use of adhesively retained gold onlays in the management of dental erosion in a child: a 4-year case report.
abstract: Tooth erosion, particularly in young people, presents a considerable challenge to restorative dentistry. A case of a 12-year-old is described where the use of minimal tooth preparation, precious metal onlays and a 4-META bonding system, together with dietary counselling, have provided a satisfactory result over 4 years.
