J Prosthet Dent. 1979 Dec;42(6):649-53. doi: 10.1016/0022-3913(79)90196-3.

Abstract

A survey was made from the clinical records of 72 patients diagnosed as suffering from dental erosion of nonindustrial origin. The information surveyed included dietary history, relevant medical history, clinical examination, and color photographs of the affected teeth. A new classification of erosion is proposed and the different types of lesions are described.
