CLINICAL PRACTICE

Enamel erosion resulting from hydrochloric acid tablets



FS Maron
Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, N.Y., USA.

This article documents a case of severe enamel erosion caused by chewing hydrochloric acid tablets over a five-year period. Dentists must be aware that highly erosive acids are obtainable without a prescription, in this case from a health food store. They must also be alert for signs of dental erosion and identify the source of the acid.
