Study Notes
Tooth Wear Guidelines for the BSRD
- Guidelines cover aetiology, diagnosis, prevention, fixed management, and removable management of tooth wear
- Part 1: Aetiology, Diagnosis and Prevention (June Dental Update)
- Part 2: Fixed Management of Tooth Wear (July/August Dental Update)
- Part 3: Removable Management of Tooth Wear (September Dental Update)
Prime&Bond active™
- Universal Adhesive
- Moisture levels vary, our bond won't
- Active-Guard™ Technology for reliable performance on over-wet and over-dried dentin
- Virtually no post-operative sensitivity*
Tooth Wear Guidelines for the BSRD Part 1: Aetiology, Diagnosis and Prevention
- Tooth wear (TW) is a common condition requiring advice and treatment
- Physiological TW is normal
- Pathological TW requires dental care, ranging in severity from mild sensitivity to severe destruction of the dentition
- Treatment ranges from simple operative care to full-mouth reconstruction
- Guidelines aim to help manage tooth wear
- Aetiology, diagnosis, and prevention of tooth wear are covered in the literature review
- Fixed and removable management of tooth wear are discussed
- The guidelines aim to be a quick reference checklist
- Severe bruxism requires regular repairs/replacement
- The society reviews and updates the guidelines every three years
Tooth Wear Guidelines for the BSRD Part 2: Fixed Management of Tooth Wear
- Management of tooth wear presents clinical dilemmas
- Thorough history and clinical assessment are crucial for treatment decisions
- Uncontrolled tooth wear leads to aesthetic issues, dentine hypersensitivity and functional problems
- Significant tooth loss complicates rehabilitation
- Tooth wear becomes apparent once the appearance of teeth deteriorates or symptoms arise
- Enamel thinning/discoloration, fractures, and shrinkage are common
- Symptoms include dentine hypersensitivity (pain from chemical, thermal, tactile, or osmotic stimuli)
- Patients may limit dietary choices due to sensitivity
- Tooth structure preservation is critical for adhesive restorations compared to conventional crown and bridge work
- Tooth wear can reduce interocclusal space, limiting the space for restorative materials
- Quality-based research on management strategies for tooth wear is absent
Tooth Wear Guidelines for the BSRD Part 3: Removable Management of Tooth Wear
- Removable prostheses are used alone or with fixed prosthodontic treatments to manage tooth wear
- Removable treatment is useful in cases of severe tooth surface loss
- Preservation of coronal tissue is essential for removable appliances
- Patients will be made aware of associated limitations, maintenance, and risks
- Severe generalized tooth loss is an indication for removable management
- Removable options include overdentures, overlay and onlay dentures
- Suitable abutment teeth are crucial for removable appliances
- Removable appliances can improve patient satisfaction with aesthetics, oral comfort, and mastication
