Table 3 BEWE scoring system to determine severity of erosive lesion (Adopted from [7])

From: Assessment of demineralized tooth lesions using optical coherence tomography and other state-of-the-art technologies: a review

Scores

Criteria

0

No erosion detected. Smooth and silky-shiny appearance with the absence of developmental ridges

1

Intact enamel is found cervical to lesion. Loss of surface enamel is detected. Width of concavity in enamel is wider than its depth is distinguished from toothbrush abrasion (wide and shallow concavity)

2

Dentine is involved for less than half of the tooth surface

3

Severe erosion with involvement of dentine more than half of the tooth surface
