概要	The Dental Erosion Index is a systematic clinical assessment tool that quantifies the severity of tooth surface loss caused by non-carious erosive agents (acidic substances, mechanical abrasion, or biological factors). Multiple index systems exist (e.g., Lussi Index, Basic Erosive Wear Examination or BEWE), each scoring erosion based on the extent and depth of surface loss on coronal and cervical tooth surfaces. Erosion assessment is critical for identifying patients at risk for advanced tooth loss, determining preventive interventions, and guiding restorative management.	Periodontal probing is a clinical assessment technique that measures the depth of gingival crevices and periodontal pockets to diagnose periodontal disease. Introduced by the American Academy of Periodontology in the mid-20th century, it remains the gold standard for assessing periodontal health status. The procedure evaluates the clinical attachment level and recession depth to identify inflammation, attachment loss, and disease progression.
