Abstract

Erosive tooth wear is a gene-environmental model. It requires the exposure to acids, typically from the diet or from the gastric content of the host, and shows variation among individuals and populations, which suggests it to be determined by more than one gene, each with small individual effects. This chapter expands the discussion that supports the assumption that a genetic component modulates the expression of erosive tooth wear.
