Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Pathology

Background:

  • Tooth wear encompasses non-carious destructive processes affecting teeth.
  • Key processes include abrasion, demastication, attrition, abfraction, resorption, and erosion.
  • Understanding these processes is crucial for dental health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of tooth wear.
  • To summarize the nomenclature and classification of dental erosion.
  • To highlight interactions between different types of tooth wear and other oral conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of tooth wear processes.
  • Summary of common dental erosion classifications.
  • Discussion of etiological factors (extrinsic, intrinsic, idiopathic).
  • Analysis of clinical severity (Classes I-III), pathogenetic activity (manifest, latent), and localization (perimolysis).

Main Results:

  • Detailed description of various tooth wear types: abrasion, demastication, attrition, abfraction, resorption, and erosion.
  • Established classifications for dental erosion based on etiology, severity, activity, and location.
  • Identified interactions between erosion and abrasion, demastication, attrition, abfraction, caries, and reduced salivary flow.

Conclusions:

  • Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition requiring a thorough understanding of its various forms.
  • Standardized classification of dental erosion aids in diagnosis and management.
  • Interactions between different wear mechanisms and conditions like caries and xerostomia are significant clinical considerations.
