The aim of this paper was to point out the possible etiology and prevention of endogenous dental erosions based on a case report. A patient (54) visited the Clinic for Dentistry of Vojvodina seeking treatment of general erosive changes localized on palatal surfaces of upper anterior teeth, occlusal and occlusal-buccal surfaces of lower molars and premolars. After the successful treatment of gastroesophageal reflux by a gastroenterologist, the restoration of damaged dental surfaces was undertaken. Main elements of the preventive protocol were: reduce intake or cut off the acid reflux, increase immune response, stimulate salivary production and remineralization.
