description Introduction: Dietary habits include the repetitive consumption of acidic foods, carbonated beverages, and sour sweets, which can cause dental erosion, i.e., the loss of enamel due to intrinsic or extrinsic factors. The objective of this study was to determine dietary habits and dental erosion in students of the Dentistry Program at San Gregorio of Portoviejo University. Materials and methods: A descriptive, quantitative study was conducted. The sample consisted of dentistry students enrolled in the second to fifth semesters. The Basic Erosive Wear Examination was also used. This is a basic erosive wear examination that measures dental erosion based on a set of criteria and a scoring system. For this study, the procedure was based on clinical observation of the most affected teeth. Results: All participants presented some degree of dental erosion. Carbonated beverage consumption was found to be the most common dietary habit among dental students with dental erosion. The majority of those examined were characterized as having grade 2 dental erosion and a low risk level according of the method used. Conclusions: The dietary habits of dentistry students follow a consumption trend that begins with carbonated beverages, followed by citrus juices, acidic fruits, and sour sweets, which contribute to the progression of dental erosion, as evidenced by the clinical evaluation of the students.

El objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar los hábitos alimentarios y la erosión dental en los estudiantes de la Carrera de Odontología de la Universidad San Gregorio de Portoviejo. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó una investigación descriptiva, con un enfoque cuantitativo. La muestra estuvo constituida por estudiantes de la carrera de Odontología matriculados 2do a 5to semestre. Así mismo se empleó la medición Basic Erosive Wear Examination, es el examen básico del desgaste erosivo, mismo que permite medir la erosión dental a partir de un conjunto criterios y sistema de puntuación. Para este estudio el procedimiento se basó en la observación clínica de las piezas dentales más afectadas. Resultados: Todos los participantes presentaron algún grado de erosión dental. Se encontró que el consumo de bebidas carbonatadas es el hábito alimentario más frecuente en estudiantes de odontología con erosión dental, además la mayoría de examinados se caracterizaron por mostrar un grado 2 de erosión dental y un nivel de riesgo bajo según el método utilizado. Conclusiones: Los hábitos alimentarios de los estudiantes de la carrera de Odontología siguen una tendencia de consumo que inicia con bebidas carbonatadas, seguido de jugos cítricos, frutas ácidas y dulces ácidos, los cuales contribuyen a la progresión de la erosión dental, según lo evidenciado en la evaluación clínica de los estudiantes.Universidad Central del Ecuador2025-07-12info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/odontologia/article/view/809210.29166/odontologia.vol27.n2.2025-e8092Odontología; Vol. 27 Núm. 2 (2025): Julio - Diciembre; 41-491390-9967reponame:Revista Odontologíainstname:Universidad Central del Ecuadorinstacron:UCEspahttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/index.php/odontologia/article/view/8092/10640Derechos de autor 2025 Kennie Saul López Castro, Noelia Alarcón Barcia, Hidelisa Valdés Domechhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2025-07-31T19:27:34Zoai:revistadigital.uce.edu.ec:article/8092Portal de revistashttps://revistadigital.uce.edu.ec/Universidad públicahttps://uce.edu.ec/**Ecuador*1390-99671390-7468opendoar:02025-07-31T19:27:34Revista Odontología - Universidad Central del Ecuadorfalse
