Caries
infectious disease process, breakdown of enamel and dentin due to bacterial invasion; most common
Abrasion
Pathogenic wearing (abrasive or tooth brushing) of tooth structure-V-shaped defect;gingiva usually healthy
lesion wear gingiva is healthy
abrasion and erosion
Erosion
chemical dissolution of tooth structure-not associated with caries;facial-gingival 1/3; healthy gigiva
Attrition
physiological wear (due to occlusal force)
Fracture
due to trauma
Developmental Defects
restored to remove caries (i.e. peg laterals)
