Increasing prevalence of erosive tooth wear (ETW) is notable mainly due to current knowledge and its early
diagnosis. Once teeth are functionally and/or esthetically affected, dental restorations may become necessary.
Materials capable of interacting with the eroded dental tissue allied to their resistance to subsequent continuous
erosive challenges are desirable. Giomer technology based on S-PRG (surface pre-reactive glass) filler has been
launching to provide benefits for the dental treatment due to its innovative multi-ionic release system, which
involves fluoride. This case report describes the employment of preventive and restorative materials based
on this technology for a patient under frequent erosive challenges and complaining about dental sensitivity.
Patient reported immediate reduction on this sensitivity and the restorations has been followed up for 2 years,
presenting satisfactory performance. S-PRG-based systems seem to be promissory for preventive and therapeutic
management of ETW used simultaneously with the patient compliance.
