THE CHARACTERISTICS OF DENTAL ABRASION
Abstract:
This report was generated because of a great interest on erosive tooth without regarding the erosive processes, so we considered this as a relevant topic. Saliva cannot prevent the erosive tooth wear, it can only modulate through formation of pellicle and by remineralisation, so we have to identify the tooth wear, in early time. Abrasion, attrition and erosion are processes that lead to tooth wear. The search of this topic was carried out on PubMed, Google, Dentistry Journal, Med Princ Pract and Web of Science. A detailed analysis of the history and causative factors must be made to identify the origin of the damaged enamel. In conclusion, the studies found reveal that erosive tooth wear is a common condition. Both primary and permanent teeth can be involved. By exposure to extrinsec or intrinsec acid the erosion can start when the first dental surface reaches the oral cavity.
