  2. Tooth wear - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_wear

    Tooth wear is a complex, multi-factorial problem and there is often difficulty identifying a single causative factor. [3] However, tooth wear is often a combination of the above processes. Many clinicians, therefore, make diagnoses such as "tooth wear with a major element of attrition", or "tooth wear with a major element of erosion" to reflect ...

  3. Dental abrasion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_abrasion

    The aetiology of dental abrasion can be due to a single stimulus or, as in most cases, multi-factorial. [6] The most common cause of dental abrasion is the combination of mechanical and chemical wear. Tooth brushing is the most common cause of dental abrasion, which is found to develop along the gingival margin, due to vigorous brushing in this ...

  4. Abfraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abfraction

    Abfraction is a theoretical concept explaining a loss of tooth structure not caused by tooth decay (non-carious cervical lesions). It is suggested that these lesions are caused by forces placed on the teeth during biting, eating, chewing and grinding; the enamel , especially at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ), undergoes large amounts of stress ...

  5. Bruxism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruxism

    Abfraction is another type of tooth wear that is postulated to occur with bruxism, although some still argue whether this type of tooth wear is a reality. [15] Abfraction cavities are said to occur usually on the facial aspect of teeth, in the cervical region as V-shaped defects caused by flexing of the tooth under occlusal forces.

  6. Dental attrition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_attrition

    Dental attrition is a type of tooth wear caused by tooth-to-tooth contact, [1] resulting in loss of tooth tissue, usually starting at the incisal or occlusal surfaces. Tooth wear is a physiological process and is commonly seen as a normal part of aging.

  7. Enamel infraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enamel_infraction

    Enamel infractions are diagnosed through a dental examination. A dentist can assess the teeth's condition once the first tooth erupts in the mouth and will continue to do so throughout every appointment. In order for the provider to take preventive action depending on the health of the teeth or any abnormalities, it's important that a child has ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-carious_cervical_lesions

    Non-carious cervical lesions on an incisor belonging to Australopithecus africanus. Arrows show the location of the lesions. Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are a group of lesions that are characterised by a loss of hard dental tissue at the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) region at the neck of the tooth, without the action of microorganisms or inflammatory processes.
