Related factors with Erosive Tooth Wear in Chilean adults sample.
Objectives: To explore the relationship between intrinsic and extrinsic factors and high Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) cumulative score in a Chilean adult group.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed with approval by the Ethics Committee from the Faculty of Medicine, Universidad de los Andes. A consecutive adult (18 to 46 years old) sampling (n=533) from Universidad de los Andes Health Center (CESA), in San Bernardo-Chile, from September 2016 to January 2017, was selected. Dental exams were performed by two trained and calibrated examiners, according to the BEWE index. An exhaustive hetero-applied questionnaire previously developed and evaluated questionnaire was applied for searching for potential factors related. The outcome was individuals who had BEWE cumulative score 14 or higher. Percentages and absolute frequencies described categorical variables. Logistic regression models reporting crude odds ratio (OR) and adjusted OR by age, 95% confidence interval (95% CI), and its respective p-value were estimated (Stata Software 14.2).
Results: Variables, odds ratios and 95% CI related with BEWE≥14 were: age (OR 1.1 [1.07-1.14]); alcohol drinking currently (OR 1.59 [1.06-2.39]); esophagitis (OR 8.22 [1.60-42.22]); difficulty to swallow (OR 2.45 [1.10-5.44]); chest pain (OR 2.07 [1.18-3.64]); anorexia (OR 3.82 [1.07-13.68]); vitamin C (OR 1.92 [1.08-3.43]); beer consumption (OR 1.68 [1.04-2.72]).
Conclusions: Age, alcohol consumption, esophagitis self-report, history of gastric symptoms, anorexia, vitamin C intake, and beer consumption were related to high BEWE score in this sample of Chilean adults in San Bernardo, Chile.
