      <abstract>
        <p>Dental erosion in children with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a multifaceted challenge requiring an integrated approach to prevention and treatment. The acidic environment caused by GERD leads to demineralization of enamel, increasing the risk of structural damage and sensitivity. Pediatric teeth, with their developing and porous nature, are particularly vulnerable to such erosion. The role of gastric acids, combined with dietary and behavioral factors, exacerbates enamel breakdown, making early diagnosis and intervention essential. Preventive strategies emphasize minimizing acidic exposure and enhancing enamel resistance. Pharmacological control of GERD using proton pump inhibitors reduces gastric acidity, while dietary modifications, such as limiting acidic foods and beverages, mitigate further enamel damage. Fluoride applications and remineralizing agents, including casein phosphopeptide-amorphous calcium phosphate, aid in enamel recovery. Tailored oral hygiene practices, such as delaying tooth brushing post-acid exposure, play a critical role in protecting softened enamel. Restorative treatment options are tailored to the severity of erosion. Composite resins and glass ionomer cements provide effective solutions for mild to moderate cases, offering aesthetic and functional benefits. In advanced cases, indirect restorations like veneers and crowns are employed, leveraging advancements in materials such as hybrid ceramics. Digital technologies, including CAD/CAM systems, enable precise and efficient restorative solutions, reducing treatment times and enhancing outcomes. Multidisciplinary collaboration between pediatricians, gastroenterologists, and dental professionals ensures comprehensive care for children with GERD-induced dental erosion. Emphasizing preventive measures, leveraging advanced restorative materials, and utilizing digital dentistry contribute to effective management. This holistic approach preserves oral health, restores functionality, and improves the quality of life for affected children.&#13;
