The aim of this study was to establish and compare the prevalence and severity of erosive tooth wear (ETW) in children with and without erosive esophagitis. Children aged 5-12 years, scheduled for upper digestive endoscopy at the Pediatric Gastroenterology Service of the Children's Hospital Santo Antonio, Porto Alegre, Brazil, were eligible to participate in this study. Patients who presented erosive esophagitis at endoscopy were defined as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) carriers, and the severity was described according to the Los Angeles classification. The oral cavity examination was performed by a trained and calibrated dentist and ETW was classified using the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index. Parents/guardians answered a questionnaire about the patients' diets and frequency of consumption of acidic foods and beverages. A total of 110 children were included in the study. Erosive esophagitis was observed in 24 patients (21.8%) and all of them (100%) presented ETW, showing a statistically significant association between these 2 conditions (p < 0.05). Among children who did not present with erosive esophagitis (n = 86), 54 (64.3%) had an ETW risk level of none according to their BEWE scores (0-2). The results of this study showed a statistically significant association between erosive esophagitis and ETW, thus it can be concluded that it is important to recognize groups at risk of ETW and act together with medical professionals to ensure adequate oral health for these patients.
