Apart from the major symptom of the disease, i.e. heartburn, other symptoms may be present as well. Typical and untypical symptoms are presented in the figure below. [protezavimas-implantavimas.lt]

Individual cause factors may be subdivided into: Erosion Abrasion Abfraction Attrition Clinically however, it is difficult (if not at times impossible) to isolate a single causative factor when a patient presents with tooth wear. [shades-clinic.com]

It is a case of a 67-year-old male, presenting with an edentulous space in his lower right quadrant, and wearing lower anterior dentition, with an FWS of 6 mm. [doi.org]

It tends to present as rounded ditching around the cervical margins of teeth, commonly described as ‘shallow’, concave or wedge shaped notches. [en.wikipedia.org]

The findings of the present study indicated that subjects with unilateral crossbite in the deciduous dentition showed a significantly smaller degree of dental abrasion in the crossbite side when compared with both the opposite side and control group sides [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Tooth Erosion

  What is Tooth Erosion or Abrasion? This is erosion. Note the lack of tooth enamel – the white part – on the molar. Tooth erosion and abrasion are very different but both are very destructive! [juliegillisdds.com]

  Tooth erosion causes a scooped out, yet smooth, depression on the surface of the tooth. Both tooth abrasion and tooth erosion can cause tooth sensitivity. [lemesosdental.com]

  It differs also from TOOTH EROSION, the progressive loss of the hard substance of a tooth by chemical processes not involving bacterial action. [connects.catalyst.harvard.edu]

  It is known that tooth brushing shortly after drinking an erosive beverage causes an increase in tooth wear. [nature.com]

  Dental bonding is a type of white tooth filling material that can be use to treat this type of erosion. [nycdentist.com]

If the patient’s bite is a factor in development of abfractions, treatment recommendations may include orthodontic tooth movement or a bite adjustment ( equilibration ). Other treatment may be recommended. [toothiq.com]

Treatment Treatment for erosion and abrasion depends on the severity of the damage. If you have a large defect that is very unsightly, you’ll likely want to have the tooth restored. [lemesosdental.com]

Treatment plan -v- sequence of treatment Once the treatment plan, the ultimate goal, is known, the dentist must establish a course that will reach it, the sequence of treatment. [doi.org]

Discover Your Treatment Options There are many dental treatments available to address attrition and abrasion, including dental crowns and porcelain veneers. [silversfamilydental.com]

If any portion of your tooth surface has begun to wear away, your dentist may be able to correct the problem with fluoride treatment. [1800dentist.com]

The prognosis is excellent if the problem is caught early, and the cause is eliminated. However, if the process is allowed to continue, the destruction can reach the center of the tooth, the pulp. [lemesosdental.com]

The first stage in developing a treatment plan is to decide which teeth have a hopelessly poor prognosis, which are sound with a good prognosis and finally which teeth require treatment and why. [doi.org]

Those teeth which have poor prognosis will have to be extracted. Once the affected dentition is successfully stabilized, the next treatment phase would comprise of placement of any definitive restorations. [jresdent.org]

A simplified version of TWI was given by Bardsley et al. [4] when carrying out epidemiological studies on large number of adolescents in North West England. [dentalhypotheses.com]

Its application should be useful for research into the aetiology, prevention and monitoring of a condition, essentially being an epidemiological and clinical tool. [doi.org]

This index has been widely used in epidemiological studies. [en.wikipedia.org]

However, the pathophysiology of erosion is more complex. When a solution comes in contact, with enamel, it has to diffuse first through the acquired pellicle and only thereafter can it interact with enamel. [intranet.tdmu.edu.ua]

Steps to Prevent Dental Abrasion To figure out some of the best ways to prevent Dental Abrasion, we went to one of the most informative sources for knowledge on the internet, Web MD at this link. [emergencydentistsusa.com]

If prevention of tooth abrasion fails then the only option left is corrective surgery. [dentalfind.com]

Often, air abrasion is recommended by dentists simply as a preventative measure, to remove decay before it has created cavities and the need for fillings. This preventative approach is ideal for children. [dentalguide.co.uk]

The following information is to help you maintain the restorations and prevent future problems: The gums may be slightly tender after the anesthesia wears off. Brush and floss normally to prevent the buildup of bacterial plaque. [myparkdental.com]

The most important step you can take in abrasion treatment and prevention is to see a dental professional on a regular basis and ask questions about your hygiene regimen. [1800dentist.com]
