Objective: To describe the prevalence of tooth wear and to investigate the relative factors associated with tooth wear in 12- and 15-year--old adolescents in Wuhan City. Methods: A modified version of the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) tooth wear index was used for the buccal, cervical, occlusal/incisal and lingual faces of 720 adolescents. All participants were asked to answer a questionnaire before examination. Results: The prevalence of tooth wear was 18.6 % and 89.40% in 12- and 15-year-old adolescents, respectively. The preva- lence rates of dentin exposure were 1.94Y0 and 5.56%, respectively. Several factors such as drinking immediately after sports and reflux were found to associate with tooth wear. Conclusion: The prevalence of tooth wear increases with ageand associated with socio--behavioral risk factors. Tooth wear in 12- and 15-year-old adolescents in Wubah City is a significant problem and should receive greater attention.
