Prosthetic Rehabilitation to Abrased Teeth: A case Report

Abstract

In dental clinics, dental wear is the common reason for the loss of dental structures. Generally, dental wears are classified into 4 groups: attrition, abrasion, erosion and abfraction. Dental wear is one of the general causes of the dentine hypersensitivity. Nowadays, “erosion” is supplanted by the term of “corrosion”. “Toothpaste abrasion” can be another cause of dental wear. The determination of the etiology of worn dentition can be complex. In order to be successful in treatment of worn dentition, clinician must be able to determine the cause. For esthetic restorations of worn anterior teeth, the patient's expectations and the physician's experience are very important factors. Porcelain laminate veneers, metalceramic restorations, all-ceramic crowns and zirconia restorations can be options for the treatment of defects.
