WASTING DISEASES OF TEETH

Date: 2020-09-12

Tooth wear is majorly the result of three processes; attrition, abrasion and erosion.These forms of tooth wear can further lead to a condition known as abfraction,where by tooth tissue is 'fractured' due to stress lesions caused by extrinsic forces on the enamel. Tooth wear is a complex, multi-factorial problem and there is difficulty identifying a single causative factor. However, tooth wear is often a combination of the above processes. Many clinicians, therefore, make diagnoses such as "tooth wear with a major element of attrition", or "tooth wear with a major element of erosion" to reflect this. This makes the diagnosis and management difficult.Therefore, it is important to distinguish between these various types of tooth wear, provide an insight into diagnosis, risk factors, and causative factors, in order to implement appropriate interventions.Heavy wear is usually found on the occlusal (chewing) surface, but non-carious cervical lesions are also common in some populations.
