Abstract

Tooth wear is a very common dental condition. The extent of wear sometimes can be catastrophic with severe tooth tissue loss which may result in poor esthetics. Main three types of wear are attrition, abrasion, erosion. Attrition is wear of teeth by the opposing teeth. Abrasion is wear of teeth by faulty tooth brushing. Erosion is wear of teeth by some acids. The aim of this article is diagnosis and prevention to avoid loss of tooth tissue, structural damage and which may lead to extensive restorative treatment.
