Word: abfraction Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From ab- + fraction (“act of breaking”); from 1991. 1. A proposed mechanism for noncarious tooth tissue loss, owing not to decay but rather to biomechanical stresses of biting and chewing; the pathogenesis of such damage remains a subject of continuing study. Labels: countable, uncountable Example: Due to the stresses resulting from biomechanical loading forces exerted on the teeth (static, as in swallowing and clenching[,] or cyclic, as in chewing), both enamel and dentin can chip or break away.
