  • Dental Erosion and GORD - Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disorder
    Clinical Dental erosion and GORD - Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disorder Louis Z G Touyz, 1 Antoni Anouf, Amirfirooz Borjian, Claudia Ferrari Abstract Acid erosion of teeth from extrinsic sources, such as acidic beverages, renders damage to teeth with characteristic erosive patterns developing. Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disorder (GORD) is frequently cited as a stand alone condition causing dental palatal erosion. It is often referred to as Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disease GORD or GERD. GORD is a patho- physiological disorder rather than a disease, as GORD is not contagious, infectious or transmissible through contact. GORD is a common condition universally affecting many people, mainly young females. Etiologies embrace eating disorders including bulimia and anorexia nervosa, dysfunctional oesophageal sphincters allowing acid gastric juice migration into the mouth, chronic alcoholism and pregnancy. GORD is also responsible for tooth erosion, but generally manifests destruction on the palatal side of dental crowns. This article describes cases of typical tooth erosion deriving from GORD and acid beverages, compares the two and principles of therapy are outlined. Introduction Tooth erosion from acids may be caused by intrinsic and Intrinsic factors causing dental erosion extrinsic factors. Gastro Oesophageal Reflux Disorder Eating disorders (GORD) with Erosion is prime among intrinsic factors. Prime among common eating disorders that manifest Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is produced in the gastric mucosa GORD are bulimia, anorexia, alcoholism, rumination and by parietal cells. Etiologies of GORD include eating alcoholism. disorders like bulimia and anorexia nervosa, rumination, Bulimia nervosa, a common eating disorder mainly chronic alcoholism, pregnancy and other conditions with among young women, in which affected people routinely dysfunctional oesophageal sphincters, which allow acid and regularly induce post-prandial emesis, has long been gastric juices to migrate into the mouth.

  • Jassim Phd Proposal
    A pilot study of the genotype and phenotype in Amelogenesis Imperfecta and Molar Incisor Hypomineralization Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Dentistry (Paediatric Dentistry) UCL Mashael Abdullatif Postgraduate (D Dent) Programme Supervisors: Dr Susan Parekh (Paediatric Dentistry) Dr Laurent Bozec (Biophysics and Tissue Engineering) Dr Peter Brett (Genetics) UCL Eastman Dental Institute, 256 Gray’s Inn Road, London WC1X8LD UK 2012 1 ABSTRACT Background Enamel is an external layer of the crown, and its production can be affected by genetic, systemic or environmental causes Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) is an inherited defect of dental enamel, and can be autosomal dominant, recessive, x-linked or sporadic. It can present as hypoplasia, hypomineralization or both. Mutations in several genes can cause defective enamel formation and have been linked to AI, e.g: AMELX (amelogenin), ENAM (enamelin), MMP20 (enamelysin) and KLK4 (kallikrein 4), although the correlation between genotype and phenotype is poorly understood. Molar Incisal Hypomineralization (MIH) is defined as an environmentally caused enamel defect of one to four permanent first molars, frequently associated with affected incisors, although the aetiology is unknown. The presence of MIH in siblings, and lack of obvious systemic cause suggests there may be an underlying genetic defect involved. When a patient presents in the early mixed dentition, it can be difficult to distinguish between AI and MIH in the absence of a clear family or medical history. Better understanding of the relationship between phenotype and genotype is required to aid diagnoses and management of these conditions. A pilot study was set up to determine the best method to collect data from patients, and establish a database to record dental anomalies.
