Dental Erosion and Its Association with Intrinsic and Extrinsic Factors in Marine Science Students
Keywords:
dental erosion, intrinsic factors, extrinsic factors, science studentsAbstract
Background: Dental erosion is a pathological form of tooth wear resulting from the chemical dissolution of dental hard tissues by acids, independent of bacterial activity. Its prevalence varies across populations, with university students exhibiting relatively high rates, potentially due to specific risk factors.
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the association between intrinsic factors (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease/GERD) and extrinsic factors (dietary habits, oral care practices, and swimming habits) with the occurrence of dental erosion among Marine Science students at Universitas Sriwijaya.
Methods: A descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 60 participants recruited through purposive sampling. Data were collected through oral clinical examinations and self-administered questionnaires assessing GERD, dietary habits, oral care practices, and swimming habits. Statistical analyses were performed using the Chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test.
Results: The prevalence of dental erosion among participants was 80%. A significant association was observed between GERD and dental erosion (p < 0.05), whereas extrinsic factors demonstrated no statistically significant relationship (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: GERD, as an intrinsic factor, is significantly associated with the occurrence of dental erosion among Marine Science students.
