Dental erosion damage is the chemical dissolution of hard tissues of the tooth produced by the action of acid or
chemicals. Currently the etiology of this clinical manifestation has not been fully explained; however, it should
be understood as a gradual, cumulative and multi-causal process. Analysis of etiology and clinical features
associated with erosive lesions allows the professional to evaluate treatment alternatives and select the most
appropriate. Therefore, in the medical record, the professional should emphasize diet, systemic condition, drug
and medicine, occupation, sports and recreational activities associated with the patient, because they can be
considered as possible factors associated to the etiology of erosion. Thus, early identification of these injuries can
prevent and correct possible etiologic agents linked to them.
