Modern methods for the prevention of acid necrosis

Non-carious dental lesions are quite common diseases that almost every dentist faces during his work. Among them, acid necrosis of the dental tissues should be distinguished. Acid dental necrosis is a progressive lesion in which enamel and dentin are destroyed. During the initial examination, it immediately catches the eye, since the appearance of the enamel of the anterior group of teeth changes. The enamel loses its luster and becomes rough. Hastens of research, every year the patients with this pathology greatly increase. Many scientists associate this with the influence of local factors, namely the influence of inorganic, less often organic acids. This pathology is most often common in persons working in the production of acids. In addition, in the development of necrosis, the general intoxication of the organism is of great importance. At the same time, there are a number of disorders that are characteristic of the sympathetic section of the nervous system and can be reflected on tissue's trophism. There is data on the effect of acid vapor on other organs and systems: endocrine, respiratory, cardiovascular. The inhibition of the organism’s immunological reaction was established in connection with a decrease in the ability to develop antibodies. This lesion violates the aesthetic type of smile, and in addition, it can lead to increased sensitivity of the teeth [4,5]. Scientists did not come to a consensus on the causes of the disease and about the methods of its treatment. However, in many cases, the disease can be prevented using simple prevention methods.
