Q

Definition of abrasion (2)

A

Abrasion occurs when the tooth grinds/slides along the opposing tooth surface (or restorative material at its surface
Abrasion leaves behind a rough surface

Q

Process of tooth wear of composite resins (4)

A

Resin is removed
Leaves some of the filler particle exposed
If enough resin is removed, the filler particle is dislodged, leaving a “cut” out of the resin
Process continues

Q

Features of composite restoration placement (2)

A

Will not have to withstand full stress - the stress will be transferred to tooth and bone
Poor bonding to tooth concentrates stress on the restoration, so failure is more likely
