The term "WEAR" in dentistry, is the process or the clinical manifestation that include loosing of hard tooth structure or restoration, due to either of the three following reasons:
-Attrition
-Abrasion
-Erosion
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Attrition is the process of continuous friction between both occluding tooth surfaces.
-Abrasion is the process of losing sound tooth structure due to continuous occlusal forces from opposing restoration, for example wear of a tooth due to opposing porcelain full coverage restoration for a long time.
-Erosion Is the loss of sound tooth structure due to chemical influence
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best and only way of reducing tooth wear, is to determine and treat the underlying reasons which are causing all the damage to the dental structures.
