Abstract(s)
A erosão dentária é uma patologia que leva à perda irreversível da estrutura dentária,
podendo levar a alterações tanto a nível funcional como estético, impactando no conforto
do dia-a-dia dos indivíduos. Visto que o consumo de bebidas erosivas, como os
refrigerantes, tem vindo a aumentar exponencialmente com o passar dos anos, o estudo
da erosão passou a ser um tópico de extremo interesse. Contudo, a grande variedade de métodos disponíveis para investigação leva a que os resultados de diferentes
investigações sejam contraditórios e, portanto, ainda muitos temas sejam assunto de
debate.
Através da revisão da literatura científica e com base nessa observação, o objetivo do
presente trabalho aplicar uma diferente metodologia no estudo da erosão que ainda não
foi abordada: a microscopia ótica. Enquanto os diversos estudos existentes sobre a erosão usam essencialmente a microscopia eletrónica, este projeto terá como foco a convencional microscopia ótica, de modo a se perceber se será uma nova metodologia viável no estudo deste tema e economicamente mais acessível.
Dental erosion is a pathology that leads to an irreversible loss of the dental structure, which can lead to changes in both functional and aesthetic levels, impacting on the daily comfort of individuals. Since the consumption of erosive beverages, such as soft drinks, has been increasing exponentially over the years, the study of erosion has become a topic of extreme interest. However, the wide variety of methods available for research mean that the results of different investigations are contradictory and therefore many topics are still subject to debate. Through the review of the scientific literature and based on this observation, the objective of this paper is to apply a different methodology in the study of erosion that has not yet been addressed: optical microscopy. While the various existing erosion studies primarily use electron microscopy, this project will focus on conventional optical microscopy, to see if it will be a viable new method for studying this subject and economically more accessible.
