Complications of medical management of dental erosion.
This article reports the case of a patient presenting with dental erosion as a result of asymptomatic gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD). The management of this patient is discussed, in particular the use of proton pump inhibitors. The advantages and disadvantages of the use of medication are discussed, especially in the light of the symptoms of GORD, which developed after taking omeprazole.
