ObjectiveThe aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of erosion in a birth cohort at 24, 36, and 48months and to investigate risk factors for erosion.
MethodsOne hundred and fifty-four children from a birth cohort were followed at 24, 36, and 48months of age.
ResultsOf the 154 children examined, 0% (0/154), 7% (11/154), and 28% (40/154) had erosion detected for the first time at 24, 36, and 48months, respectively (P<0.001). A cumulative total of 51 (33%) children and 256 (8%) teeth had erosion by the age of 48months. There were no significant associations between erosive lesions first detected at 36months and oral hygiene behaviour, medical conditions, or dietary habits reported at the 24- or 36-month examinations (all P>0.05). In contrast, erosive lesion first detected at 48months was positively associated with the use of a feeding bottle reported at the 36-month examination (P=0.026).
ConclusionsThe prevalence of dental erosion in young children increased with age, with clinically detectable lesions forming between 24 and 36months of age. Erosive lesions first detected at 48months were positively associated with the use of a feeding bottle reported at 36months.
