TL;DR: It is not proven by prospective clinical studies whether the incidence of secondary caries can be significantly reduced by the fluoride release of restorative materials, but fluoride-releasing materials, predominantly glass-ionomers and compomers, did show cariostatic properties and may affect bacterial metabolism under simulated cariogenic conditions in vitro.

TL;DR: Advice is provided based on the current literature to minimize the impact of bleaching therapies on restorative materials and restorations.

TL;DR: The European Federation of Conservative Dentistry (EFCD) considered ETW as a relevant topic for generating this consensus report as discussed by the authors, based on a compilation of the scientific literature, an expert conference, and the approval by the General Assembly of EFCD.

TL;DR: In this article, a summary of the preventive strategies relevant for patients suffering from dental erosion is presented, including dietary counseling, stimulation of salivary flow, optimization of fluoride regimens, modification of erosive beverages and adequate oral hygiene measures.

TL;DR: The parameters which must be carefully considered in erosion-abrasion research are described and discussed to ensure that the problem is investigated in an appropriate mode at standardised conditions and with adequate measuring systems to allow prediction of clinical outcomes.
