Abstract
Etiologic factors causing erosion o f hard dental tissue, clinical description, differential diagnosis and therapy are discussed. The most common exogenous factors are highly acid food and drink, some medicaments, professional exposure in industry and laboratory, etc. The most common endogenous factor is chronic regurgitation o f stomach contents. Exogenous erosions are localized on the labial surfaces, and
endogenous erosions on palatinal or lingual surfaces of the teeth. Therapy of hard dental tissue erosion is based on preventive measures, composite restoration and prosthetic replacement.
