Abstract
Nowadays, dental aesthetics is of particular importance. The shape, colour and appearance of teeth are a very important criterion for inclusion in society. From their aesthetic to their masticatory function, teeth are indispensable to us in both natural and artificial form. Tooth wear is a term that refers to the loss of dental hard tissue because of mechanical or chemical processes not involving bacteria. Individual dietary habits may be the most important factor affecting dental structures through the erosive potential of acidic foods. The methodology used a quantitative approach for the study of the conditions that could lead to dental erosion in young adults. The instrument used was a questionnaire distributed online.
