Q

In both attrition and abrasion:

Enamel wears away, dentin becomes exposed, and there is deposition of secondary dentin. What does this cause?

Q

Loss of tooth structural from occlusal stresses that create repeated tooth flexure

A

Abfraction

22
Q

Failure of enamel and dentin at a location away from the point of loading (usually result of occlusal forces)

A

Abfraction

23
Q

Creates sharp angles/edges at gum line

A

Abfraction

24
Q

Creates flatter, smooth surface at gum line

A

Abrasion

25
Q

Removal of tooth structure by odontoclasts

A

Resorption

A

soft tissue; root

27
Q

Progressive resorption of deciduous tooth that result in shedding and subsequent eruption of permanent tooth

A

Physiological root resorption

28
Q

Odontoclasts resorb the outer surface of the tooth

Reimplanted teeth
Impacted teeth, tumors, and cysts
Unknown

30
Q

Blunting of roots

A

External resorption

31
