Talk:Dental attrition

message: Hello myself itdent, Student 17222397, Dentalunistudent, Kyrrolos Hanna, Student17412407 are current Oral Health Students from La Trobe School of Dentistry and Oral Health. Through La Trobe University we are undertaking a subject to make easily accessible information for all individuals credible. This is a capstone subject where students use existing knowledge and skills from earlier subjects (oral and basic sciences, public health and research methods) to apply evidence-based practices and programs in a variety of settings. 
Our goal is to edit the Attrition (dental) page and provide credible information that is easily accessible to the general public. We intend to add more information to the page and make it more informative. 
The Topics we intend to cover:
Edit definition and abstract, Signs and symptoms, Aetiology (cause, Characteristics, Prevention/Management, Non-carious tooth tissue loss
Do not hesitate to contact if you have any areas of concern 
Most kind Regards

message: Hi everyone,
I think it would be best if we try to add more photos to the page. The current picture example of attrition is probably not the best example so I think it would be best to change this. Also I think a picture of a splint would be helpful for the treatment section. Thoughts anyone?
I thought that http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:F%C3%A9rula_descarga.JPG#globalusage may be an appropriate picture showing a splint fitting. I have tried to embed the file but I cannot get it to work. Can some one help?

message: Please follow wp:medrs when selecting sources, and the article should follow the general style laid out in wp:medmos. Your attention on this article is much appreciated.
Specifically, I removed the content "tooth surface  loss". The contnent seemed to be about the 3 other types of tooth wear and therefore did not belong on this page which is supposed to be focussed on attrition. We have a parent article for all types of tooth wear, so I moved the content there, after some editing.
In passing, I feel the description of acid erosion was inaccurate. Acid erosion is not confined to endogenous acids. Acidic drinks such as fruit juices are a major cause of erosion and these are exogenous acids. It also rarely posible to have occupational acid erosion.
