The consumption of products and supplements rich in vitamin C in the last two years have added to these acid supplies as part of a healthy diet for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19. Due to their low pH and their high frequency of intake, these foods affect dental demineralization. The following article describes a case report of a pediatric patient of 8 years and 10 months of age, who presented dental erosion in 13 of his 14 deciduous teeth, for the diagnosis the observational method based on the Smith TWI index was used. and Knight, locating the affected dental surfaces, for the treatment a conventional prevention intervention plan and the minimally invasive one was used, obtaining positive results in terms of functionality, aesthetics and patient selfesteem.

(2023) RODRIGUEZ COYAGO, MARIA LOURDES
Introduction: the term purpura clinically translates into flat or raised lesions of violet, purple or red- brown color determined by extravasation of blood in a localized region of the skin or mucosa. Objective: To present a clinical case of purpura located in the oral mucosa, and probably exacerbated by the patient’s metabolic condition. Methods: The description of the clinical case was made under the CARE declaration. Additionally, a review of the literature of the last 10 years on the subject was carried out through manual search in oral medicine texts and digital search in the scientific bases MEDLINE/PubMed, Cochrane, Scielo, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar. Case report: 51 year old woman, partially edentulous and medi- cated with metformin due to a diagnosis of type II diabetes mellitus, who recorded non-palpable red- violet lesions, negative vitro-pressure, compatible with petechiae and vibex, distributed on the floor of the mouth, ventral face and lateral surfaces of the tongue associated with chronic trauma. Laboratory tests pointed to a scenario of poor metabolic control. Conclusions: Traumatic non-thrombocytopenic purpura is diagnosed, probably exacerbated by a metabolic condition. A histopathological study is required to confirm.
