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

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
J Prosthet Dent 2003;90:31-41
IntroductionAbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
A modern treatment model involves three steps:
1) Comprehensive etiological clinical investigation
2) Treatment planning and execution
3) Maintenance

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 AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
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 AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
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 AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Occupational/Oral Habits causing Abrasion :
Pipe smoking
Depression abrasion
Tobacco
Betel nut
bobby pin opening
Nail biting
Holding Musicians-Instruments mouthpieces
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Location and pattern of abrasion may be related to the cause :
Proximal root abrasion
Pica syndrome
Iatrogenic tooth abrasions
Tongue piercing
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
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 AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
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
Site:
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
Lesions show varying degrees of depth like
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Lesion:
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.
Hypersensitivity:
Intermittent in character In slowly progressive defects, reparative dentin formation occurs over a period of time making them asymptomatic
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
TREATMENT OF ABRASION
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

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
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Noncarious Cervical Lesions: graft or restore
When to graft:
No attached gingiva
No enamel defect
Class I or II recession i.e. there is no loss of interdental bone or soft tissue
Papilla length and fullness are adequate
Esthetics is important
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
When to restore: Adequate attached gingiva
Defect is mainly in enamel
Lesion is deeper than 2 mm horizontally
Class III recession i.e. there is some loss of interdental bone height or soft tissue fullness, making complete root coverage not possible
Esthetics is not of primary importance
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
When to graft and restore:
No attached gingiva
Defect in the enamel only
Recession is significant (more or equal 2mm)
Papilla length and fullness are inadequate
Esthetics is important
Introduction AbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
ABFRACTION
Concept of “stress induced cervical lesion”
derived from Latin words ab – away, plus “fractio” – breaking
Synonyms : Idiopathic cervical erosion (Grippo)
Abfraction is the microstructural loss of tooth substance in areas of stress concentration
(JADA2004)
IntroductionAbrasion AbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Abfractions are described as“ wedge shaped defects” in the cervical region of the tooth
Loss of tooth structure resulting from repeated tooth (enamel & dentin) flexure produced by occlusal stresses
Coined by Grippo in 1990
IntroductionAbrasion AbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
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
IntroductionAbrasion AbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Mechanism of Formation of Abfraction Lesion:
Compressive forces Tensile forces
Kornfeld indicated that the cervical surface lesions tended to occur on the part of the tooth opposing the side that had developed an occlusal wear facet caused by attrition
IntroductionAbrasion AbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Characteristics of Abfraction Lesion:
Wedge-shaped defects limited to cervical area Deep, narrow, V-shaped Single tooth or Sometimes subgingival More common in mandibular dentition and
among those with bruxism, hyper or malocclusion
Rate of progression : 1 m per day (Xhonga et al)
IntroductionAbrasion AbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
How it is different from Abrasion????
A single tooth (but not adjacent teeth) is affected
The deep, narrow, “V-shaped notch” does not allow the toothbrush to contact the base of the defect
Gingivitis is present
Classification of ABFRACTION
ENAMEL DENTIN
Hairline cracks Striations / molecular slip planes” or “Lines of Luder” Saucer shaped Semilunar shaped Cusps tip invagination
Gingival - “McCoy notches” Circumferential Multiple Sub-gingival Lingual Interproximal Alternate Angular Crown margin Restoration margin

TREATMENT OF ABFRACTION
Treat the cause before restoring
Occlusal loading on the tooth can be tested in centric occlusion and in excursive movements with occlusal marking paper
RESTORATIVE TREATMENT
IntroductionAbrasion AbfractionAttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
ATTRITION
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%.
IntroductionAbrasionAbfraction AttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity 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)
IntroductionAbrasionAbfraction AttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Multifactorial etiology with age
Canine guidance having significant influence
Other Factors: Para functional habits such as bruxism & clenching Crowding Occlusal slides Cross bites 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
(Newman)
IntroductionAbrasionAbfraction AttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
PROXIMAL SURFACE TOOTH LOSS
Widening of the proximal contact area
Surface area Susceptible to decay
Proximal surface attrition (proximal surface faceting)
M-D dimension decreases
Drifting of teeth
Decrease Arch length
Altered Occlusion
↓ Embrasure space
Alteration of physiology of interdental papilla
Difficult plaque control
Periodontitis
IntroductionAbrasionAbfraction AttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
Occluding surface attrition
Occlusal Wear
Flattening/Faceting of occluding elements
In severe cases, dentine wears faster than enamel leaving “scooped area” surrounded by peripheral rim of enamel
Reverse cusping
If the wear is severe, generalized & accomplished in a relatively short time
Vertical loss might be imparted on the face as a Loss of Vertical Dimension
Strain in stomato gnathic system
If attrition over a longer period of time
vertical dimension loss will be confined to the teeth but not imparted to the face
Consequences of tooth wear
Deficient masticatory capabilities of the teeth Cheek biting (cotton roll cheeks)
Gingival irritation
Decay
Tooth sensitivity
Interfering / deflecting points
Predominantly horizontal masticatory movement / TMJ problems
IntroductionAbrasionAbfraction AttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
(modified from Richards and Brown)
Attrition index:
o - No wear
1- Minimal wear
2 - Noticable flattening , parallel to the occluding planes
3 - Flattening of cusps / grooves
4 - Total loss of contour / dentin exposure

2. Instructions for oral hygiene
3. FLUORIDE application
4. Hard plastic interocclusal device
IntroductionAbrasionAbfraction AttritionBruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
BUT if its severe!!!
1. Endodontic therapy or Extraction, (in case of pulpally involved teeth)
2. Disocluding-protecting occlusal splints (to control parafunctional activities)
3. DIAGNOSE & RESOLVE Myofunctional, TMJ, or any other symptoms in the stomatognathic system
4. Occlusal equilibration (Selective grinding, coinciding RCP with ICP)
During the last three procedures
Use of Fluorides Use of Temporary Restorations Evaluation of PERIODONTAL health (fortunately favourable)

BRUXISM
OCCLUSAL PARAFUNCTIONAL HABIT
May be: Sleep bruxism or Awake bruxism
It is defined as the grinding of teeth during non functional movements of the masticatory system: it is a mandibular parafunction
Mechanical wear resulting from bruxism often results in progressively greater wear towards the anterior teeth ( with open bite as exception)

2 Aetiological Models :
IntroductionAbrasionAbfractionAttrition BruxismErosionCombined mechanismsSeverity of wear
STRUCTURAL FUNCTIONAL
Occlusal Interferences Altered maxillo-mandibular relationships
STRESS Children Brux
Bruxism produces surface loss, which is related to the duration and force & frequency of parafunction
Clinical
Presentation
• Grooving of lateral borders of tongue • Cheek biting • Fractured porcelain restorations •Cupping or cratering of occlusal surface •Teeth grinding or clenching•Teeth are worn down, flattened or chipped •Increased tooth sensitivity •Jaw pain or tightness in jaw muscles •Earache•Dull morning headache •Chronic facial pain

TREATMENT , rather
say PREVENTION
No accepted cure as yet
wearing of a full-width acrylic NIGHT GUARD
Occlusal therapy should only be carried out after successful stabilization splint usage, and careful 'mock' equilibration on accurately mounted study models
IMPORTANCE OF USING INTRERMITTENT SPLINTS
derived from latin verb erosum ( to corrode)
EROSION
defined as loss of tooth structure resulting from chemico mechanical acts in the absence of specific microorganisms

COMBINED MECHANISMS OF
TOOTH WEAR
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

mechanismsSeverity of wear
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 Toothwear: ABC of the worn dentition; 1st ed
IntroductionAbrasionAbfractionAttritionBruxismErosion Combined
mechanismsSeverity of wear
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).

BEWE (Basic Erosive Wear Examination)
(Bartlett ;2010)
Scale from 0 to 3 for each sextant
0 (no wear), 1 (initial loss of surface texture), 2 (less than 50% loss of surface) and 3 (greater than 50% loss of surface)
Tooth most severely affected in a particular sextant is the one for which the score is based on
On completion of the BEWE, an aggregate score is reached for all sextants
The latter score can be used as a guide to the clinical management of the patient concerned
