In vitro methods of surface characterization of dental erosion: A review

Abstract

To review the laboratory surface characterization methods utilized to measure dental erosion. Peer-reviewed published scientific articles from Pubmed, Saudi Digital Library, and Google scholar platforms were searched, and only laboratory-based studies were included. Several quantitative and qualitative techniques have been used to assess enamel erosion in the laboratory. This review examines the applications, advantages, and limitations of the various methods currently used to assess dental erosion.
