Developmentally Based-Universal Erosion Scoring System
Abstract
Mohamed A Bassiouny
Dental erosion is a growing health problem that has escalated in recent years. Diagnosing these lesions, assessing extent of the disease, and drawing a comparison among clinical findings from multiple studies, often confront a critical problem. This prob- lem stems from the lack of a universally acceptable comprehensive assessment criteria and standardized scoring system, hence the objective of this report. The proposed Universal Erosion Scoring System (UESS) is based on the developmental stages of the disease and can be used for private practices and clinical studies in populations of all ages. The numerical scores, the corre- sponding criteria and protocol to implement this scoring index system are described.
