Relationship between bariatric surgery and dental erosion: a systematic review
Bariatric surgery can have several oral repercussions, including tooth erosion due to decreased salivary flow associated with the action of acidic pH and behavioral modifications in the diet that lead to the dissolution of mineralized dental tissues. This systematic review aimed to evaluate whether bariatric surgery presented a greater risk of dental erosion. This review was based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyzes (PRISMA) and registered at the International Prospective Registry of Systematic Reviews (CRD42019124960).
