Salivary parameters and teeth erosions in patients with gastroesophageal reflux...
Corrêa,Maria Carolina Canteras Scarillo Falotico; Lerco,Mauro Masson; Cunha,Maria de Lourdes Ribeiro de Sousa da; Henry,Maria Aparecida Coelho de ArrudaCONTEXT: In the gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), a highly prevalent digestive disorder, gastric content may return to the esophagus and reach the mouth, thus leading to a small number of carious lesions and high incidence of dental erosion. Since saliva plays a major role in oral homeostasis, evaluating salivary parameters is necessary in attempting to explain such outcome. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed a...
