Abstract
Loss of enamel and a deep black stain of the teeth in a 40-year-old diabetic patient
are strongly suggested to be caused by the daily consumption of a cheap white wine
and, possibly, by the chewing of cayenne. The wine proved to be rather acid, thereby
promoting abrasion as a result of gnashing, and to contain a high concentration of
tannin. The exact role of the tannins is described.
