Clinical measurement of tooth wear: Tooth wear indices
Attrition, erosion, and abrasion result in alterations to the tooth and manifest as tooth wear. Each classification corresponds to a different process with specific clinical features. Classifications made so far have no accurate prevalence data because the indexes do not necessarily measure a specific etiology, or because the study populations can be diverse in age and characteristics. Tooth we...

متن کاملPrevalence Of Tooth Wear
s: Background: Tooth wear is a condition that encompasses attrition, abrasion and erosion and has a multifactorial etiology. Prevalence of tooth wear is reported to be between 5-50%.This wide range probably reflects the various parameters used in assessing of tooth wear and the difficulty in differentiating between the types of tooth wear. Diagnosing tooth wear and eliciting the etiological fac...
متن کاملNew Perspectives on Tooth Wear
Some of the efforts that have been made to document tooth wear are reviewed here with an emphasis on nonhuman mammals, literature with which dentists may not be very familiar. We project a change in research strategy from the description of wear at various scales of measurement towards investigation of the mechanical mechanisms that actually create the texture of a worn surface. These studies s...
متن کاملBiologically Based Restorative Management of Tooth Wear
The prevalence and severity of tooth wear is increasing in industrialised nations. Yet, there is no high-level evidence to support or refute any therapeutic intervention. In the absence of such evidence, many currently prevailing management strategies for tooth wear may be failing in their duty of care to first and foremost improve the oral health of patients with this disease. This paper promo...
