The etiology, prevalence and pathogenesis of tooth wear
Abstract
The most common reason for tooth and dental hard tissue loss has been dental caries. Since application of fluoride, the prevalence, incidence and severity of caries has declined and the dental life expectancy has increased. One of the most common factor associated with this prolonged dental life expectancy is tooth wear. Tooth wear is an irreversible, non carious, destructive process, which results in a functional loss of dental hard tissue. It can manifest as abrasion, attrition, abfraction and erosion. This article will describe the etiology, prevalance and pathogenesis of tooth wear.
