Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Dental Biomaterials
  • Oral Health

Background:

  • Tooth wear is a prevalent dental condition affecting both children and adults.
  • The traditional triad of tooth wear includes attrition, abrasion, and erosion.
  • The significance of erosion as a contributor to excessive dental hard tissue loss is increasingly recognized.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the increasing prevalence of tooth wear.
  • To emphasize the role of erosion in irreversible loss of dental hard tissue.
  • To suggest methods for overcoming the problem of excessive tooth wear.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on tooth wear.
  • Analysis of the etiological factors contributing to tooth wear, with a focus on erosion.
  • Identification and evaluation of preventive and therapeutic strategies.

Main Results:

  • Tooth wear, particularly erosion, is a growing concern in pediatric and adult dentistry.
  • Erosion, defined as irreversible dental hard tissue loss from non-bacterial chemical processes, is a major factor in excessive tooth surface loss.
  • The study underscores the multifactorial nature of tooth wear and the need for targeted interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Effective management of tooth wear requires a comprehensive understanding of its causes, especially erosion.
  • Preventive measures and tailored treatments are essential to mitigate the impact of tooth wear.
  • Further research into the long-term effects and management of dental erosion is warranted.
