Problems associated with dental erosive wear are many and varied. The irreversible nature of this disease and its increasing frequency in the modern world make its study meaningful and up-to-date. The Bulgarian scientific literature lacks contemporary data on the epidemiology and etiology of dental erosion. These facts became the basis for our research. The subject of the study were 332 randomly selected patients on the territory of the city of Varna who had a thorough dental examination and were given a detailed questionnaire on the problem of dental erosion. The results of the clinical trial indicate that 46% of those surveyed have at least one erosive defect. Female patients are most commonly affected, and the leading etiological factor is not one but a combination of endogenous and exogenous acids due to eating and drinking habits.
