Study Notes
Tooth Wear
- Tooth wear is described as the loss of dental hard tissues from the surfaces of the teeth caused by factors other than dental caries, trauma, and developmental disorders.
- Physiological wear is considered an age-related normal process.
Hard Tooth Tissue Defects
- Abfraction is not a hard tooth tissue defect mentioned in the text.
Challenges in Dentistry
- Tooth wear presents one of the greatest challenges in dentistry.
Tooth Lesions
- Abrasion lesions are not associated with the presence of microorganisms that cause defects in tooth structures.
Treatment Planning
- The term "programmed treatment planning" describes the treatment planning process for severe wear if the rules are precisely adhered to in correct sequence.
Attrition
- Attrition is the mechanical wear of tooth structure due to tooth-to-tooth contact without any foreign substance intervention.
- Attrition may be regarded as pathological if the rate of wear is greater than expected or atypical for the patient's age.
- Pathological causal factors for attrition include bruxism and parafunctional habits.
- The clinical appearance associated with attrition is a flat or shiny wear facet.
Vertical Dimension Loss
- The term "vertical dimension loss" is used to describe tooth wear associated with the loss of vertical dimensions of teeth.
Tooth Wear Types
- Abrasion is a type of tooth wear that involves the wear of tooth structure due to mechanical factors other than mastication.
- Erosion is a type of tooth wear characterized by the loss of tooth structure due to chemical processes without bacterial involvement.
- Attrition is a type of tooth wear that involves the mechanical wear of tooth structure due to tooth-to-tooth contact.
- Abfraction is a type of tooth wear associated with the loss of tooth structure due to flexure and fatigue caused by occlusal forces.
Abrasion
- The term "abrasion" is used to describe the loss of tooth structure by mechanical forces during tooth brushing or other abrasive actions.
Tooth Movement
- The term " migrations" is used to describe the flattening of proximal surfaces and widening of proximal contact areas due to physiologic tooth movement.
