Erosive Tooth Wear and Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease: An Interdisciplinary Management for a Relevant Dental Problem.
Review in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a frequently occurring digestive disorder resulting in acid reflux into the oral cavity. Apart from its esophageal symptoms, it also manifests in the mouth, with erosive tooth wear (ETW) being the most encountered oral affliction. ETW is a cumulative and irreversible condition; if it remains unrecognized, it progressively worsens over time, significantly impacting the quality of life and imposing a substantial economic burden, especially when associated with untreated GERD. Early identification and timely intervention are essential to preventing disease progression and minimizing long-term consequences. An interdisciplinary approach that integrates medical and dental care offers the most effective management strategy. Preventive measures, including lifestyle and dietary modifications, patient education on appropriate oral hygiene, and the application of fluoride, play an important role in mitigating ETW risk. This paper explores the pathophysiological link between ETW and untreated GERD, focusing on its etiology, clinical presentation, and diagnostic considerations. It also examines the economic burden of untreated ETW and discusses the potential of emerging technologies, like artificial intelligence, digital and teledentistry in improving early detection and tailored treatment. Additionally, the review outlines effective management strategies aimed at improving clinical outcomes and ensuring comprehensive patient care.
