INTRODUCTION
The term ‘tooth wear’ (TW) is a general term
that can be used to describe the surface loss of
dental hard tissues from causes other than
dental caries, trauma or as a result of
developmental disorders

Severity of wear
It is a normal physiological process that is
macroscopically irreversible and is cumulative
with age
Lambrechts et al. in 1989 estimated the normal vertical
loss of enamel from physiological wear to be
approximately 20-38 μm per annum

Aspects which compound difficulties
associated with tooth wear management
include:
• Deriving an accurate diagnosis !!
• When to implement active restorative intervention??
• How to restore such severely worn dentitions, with the
aim of ultimately attaining a functionally and aesthetically
stable restored dentition??
•A lack of knowledge relating to the availability of
contemporary materials and their respective techniques of
application!!!

A modern approach to the treatment of tooth
wear is to prevent the progression of this
disease before a full prosthetic rehabilitation
would be needed
Such a treatment approach would become totally
ineffective because of potential biological
complications and inadequate biomechanical
rationale

AETIOLOGY
ABRASION
 derived from the Latin word abrasum (to
scrape off)
 can be defined as the surface loss of tooth
structure resulting from direct frictional forces
between the teeth and external objects or from
frictional forces between contacting components
in the presence of an abrasive medium

Surgical retraction for restoration of non carious
cervical lesion -
 By doing miniflap surgical retraction, it provides
access to the subgingival lesions.
 Small vertical incisions are made on the mesial
& distal to the lesion and not involving the papilla
The incision should be made such a way that it
should not extend to the mucogingival junction

 Occurs most commonly in the
cervical region of teeth, where
flexure may lead to a breaking away
of the extremely thin layer of enamel
rods, as well as microfracture of
cementum & dentin
 These lesions, frequently have a
crescent form along the cervical
line, where this brittle and fragile
enamel layer exists

Severity of wear
 derived from the ‘Latin’ word attritum
 Surface tooth structure loss resulting from direct
frictional forces between contacting teeth (Marzouk)
 Attrition is mechanical wear of the incisal or occlusal
surface as a result of functional or parafunctional
movements of mandible (Sturdevant)
Prevalence of Attrition : 13% to 98%.

mechanisms
Severity of wear
 Attrition process begins from the time it erupts
in the mouth and makes contact with reciprocating
tooth surface
 While a certain amount of attrition is
physiologic, excessive destruction of tooth
structure is not physiologic
Occlusal wear that
renders itself vulnerable
even to normal function
loading cannot be
regarded as normal
If occlusal wear occurs at a
rate faster than compensatory
physiologic mechanisms, this
is not physiologic
(Russel)

 Chewing habits and Diet
ATTRITION
 Continuing and Slow process
(vertical loss of enamel rarely exceeds 50 m / year)
Dental attrition has been
used in archaeology and
forensic sciences to
estimate human age
Teeth continue to erupt in adulthood
even in the absence of masticatory
function and concomitant attrition

will be confined
to the teeth but
not imparted to

Consequences of tooth wear
 Deficient masticatory capabilities of the teeth
 Cheek biting (cotton roll cheeks)
 Gingival irritation
 Decay
 Tooth sensitivity

Attrition-abfraction: joint action of stress and
friction when teeth are in tooth-to-tooth
contact
Abrasion-abfraction: loss of tooth substance caused by
friction from an external material on an area in which
stress concentration due to loading forces may cause tooth
substance to break away

Corrosion-abfraction: loss of tooth substance
due to the synergistic action of a chemical
corrodent on areas of stress concentration
Attrition-corrosion: loss of tooth substance due to the
action of a corrodent in areas in which tooth-to-tooth
wear occurs. This process may lead to a loss of
vertical dimension, especially in patients with GERD
or gastric regurgitation
Abrasion-corrosion: synergistic activity of corrosion and friction
from an external material. This could occur from the frictional
effects of a toothbrush on the superficially softened surface of a
tooth that has been demineralized by a corrosive agent

Biocorrosion (caries)-abfraction: pathological loss of tooth
structure associated with the caries process, where an area is
micromechanically and physicochemically breaking away
due to stress concentration.
 A common site for this synergistic activity is the cervical
area of the tooth, where it may be manifested as root or
radicular caries.
Articulating paper markings
indicate eccentric loading, which
induced stress concentration in the
cervical region (abfraction) and
may have exacerbated the caries
(biocorrosion).

Restorative management of worn dentition (PART 1)- AETIOLOGY

  • 1. POSTGRADUATE DEPARTMENT OF CONSERVATIVE DENTISTRY AND ENDODONTICS SEMINAR TOPIC:- RESTORATIVE MANAGEMENT OF WORN DENTITION - I (AETIOLOGY ) Presented by-Ashish Choudhary PG student UNDER GUIDANCE OF :- Prof. Dr Riyaz Farooq (HOD) Dr Aamir Rashid (Asst. Prof.) Dr Fayaz Ahmed (lecturer)
  • 2. “ Rehabilitation of dentition is not all about restoring the mouth with 28 crowns or an aesthetic smile ” “Itz about Cosmetic Functional Oral Rehabilitation”
  • 3. CONTENTS • Introduction • Abrasion • Abfraction • Attrition • Bruxism • Erosion • Combined Mechanisms • Severity of wear • Diagnosis of tooth wear • Role of wear in occlusion • Restoration of worn dentition • Rehabilitation of worn dentition
  • 4. INTRODUCTION The term ‘tooth wear’ (TW) is a general term that can be used to describe the surface loss of dental hard tissues from causes other than dental caries, trauma or as a result of developmental disorders (Hattab F, Yassin O) Int J Prosthodont 2000; 13: 101–107  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 5. It is a normal physiological process that is macroscopically irreversible and is cumulative with age Lambrechts et al. in 1989 estimated the normal vertical loss of enamel from physiological wear to be approximately 20-38 μm per annum J Dent Res 1989; 68: 1752–1754  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 6. Tooth wear’s multi-factorial aetiology ABRASION ABFRACTION ATTRITION EROSION Clinically however, it is difficult (if not at times impossible) to isolate a single aetiological factor when a patient presents with tooth wear  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 7. A growing challenge in dentistry It therefore implies continuous monitoring to control related pathologies Quintessence Int 2003;34:435-446 J Oral Rehabil 2008;35:476-494  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 8. Multifactorial preventive & Restorative approach  involve different specialties,  starting with preventive measures &  ending up with full-mouth rehabilitation  adhesive and partial restorations for intermediate stages THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ESTHETIC DENTISTRY VOLUME 6 • NUMBER 1 • SPRING 2011  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 9. Aspects which compound difficulties associated with tooth wear management include: • Deriving an accurate diagnosis !! • When to implement active restorative intervention?? • How to restore such severely worn dentitions, with the aim of ultimately attaining a functionally and aesthetically stable restored dentition?? •A lack of knowledge relating to the availability of contemporary materials and their respective techniques of application!!! BDJ;2012 ; VOLUME 212 NO. 1  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 10. A modern approach to the treatment of tooth wear is to prevent the progression of this disease before a full prosthetic rehabilitation would be needed Such a treatment approach would become totally ineffective because of potential biological complications and inadequate biomechanical rationale J Prosthet Dent 2003;90:31-41  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 11. A modern treatment model involves three steps: 1) Comprehensive etiological clinical investigation 2) Treatment planning and execution 3) Maintenance THE EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF ESTHETIC DENTISTRY VOLUME 6 • NUMBER 1 • SPRING 2011  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 12. RESTORATIVE OPTIONS •Conventional fixed restorations •Removable onlay/overlay prosthesis •Minimal preparation adhesive restorations Tooth wear and sensitivity-clinical advances in restorative dentistry; Martin Dunitz  Introduction Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 13. AETIOLOGY ABRASION  derived from the Latin word abrasum (to scrape off)  can be defined as the surface loss of tooth structure resulting from direct frictional forces between the teeth and external objects or from frictional forces between contacting components in the presence of an abrasive medium (Marzouk ) Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 14. Hard Toothbrush Abrasive Toothpaste Intensive Horizontal brushing technique “well-defined, V-shaped notches” in the cervical regions of one or more facial tooth surface Location of the abrasion (three-body wear) lesions depends on tooth alignment and/or which hand is holding the toothbrush Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 15.  In case of toothpaste abuse, the anatomical detail of the affected surfaces is faded with a sandblasted appearance  When the enamel wears through to the dentine, cupping or cratering will form Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 16. Occupational/Oral Habits causing Abrasion : Depression abrasion Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 17. Location and pattern of abrasion may be related to the cause : Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 18. Classification: (Vimal Sikri) a) Notch N / V shaped  Oblique occlusal and cervical walls meet at certain depth.  No definite axial wall. b) C shaped defect (C)  Cross section C shaped with rounded floors c) Undercut concave (UC)  Occlusal & cervical walls intersect with definite axial wall d) Divergent box (DB)  Axial wall present  Occlusal and cervical walls diverge Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 19. 1) Shallow (S): 0.1 - 0.5 mm in depth 2) Deep (D): More than 0.5mm. but no pulp exposure 3) Exposure (E): Pulp is exposed  Premolars > Canines > Maxillary first molars  Lingual surfaces are rarely affected  Localized lesions may be present on teeth or tooth placed facial to the remaining dental arch Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 20.  Initially may be linear lesion  As lesion progresses, peripheries become more angularly demarcated from adjoining areas  Extremely smooth & polished surface of lesion  Sometimes surface may exhibit scratches in it  Surrounding walls tend to make a V shape  Probing or application of heat, cold or sweets can elicit pain.  Intermittent in character  In slowly progressive defects, reparative dentin formation occurs over a period of time making them asymptomatic Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 21. Diagnose the cause of presented abrasion Treat the cause: Habit : Break the habit Iatrogenic : correct it If the habit cannot be broken , the Restorative treatment can by-pass the effect of habit Desensitization by F-solution (NaP/SnF 8- 30% for 4-8 min) or iontophoresis. Restorative treatment Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 22. Restorative protocol ABRASION Anterior tooth or Facially conspicuous area of posterior tooth Inconspicuous area in posterior tooth Adhesive tooth coloured materials Metallic restoration (but if cavity preparation would compromise the PD organ vitality) Introduction  Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Bruxism Erosion Combined mechanisms Severity of wear
  • 23.
