ABSTRACT
Reflux of acidic gastric secretions into the oral cavity may cause significant dental erosion. This gastro-oesophageal reflux has been shown to occur in children as well as in adults, and is often not accompanied by typical reflux symptoms. When symptoms are present the children may complain of heartburn, food regurgitation and epigastric pain. Current investigation involves ambulatory 24-hour oesophageal pH-measurements. In the case of exaggerated reflux, the main therapeutic option is medical acid suppression for several years. The pathogenesis, the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures as well as the importance of the cooperation between dentists and gastroenterologists are described and therapeutic advices are given.
