A

Erosion of tooth enamel and dentin frequently associated with conditions involving chronic regurgitation of acid gastric contents (such aus bulimia or anorexia nervosa( which affects the palatal surfaces of the maxillary anterior teeth (particularly the central and lateral incisors( and the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth
- Acid leaves a pattern consistent with the heads position while vomiting

24

Why does medication affect the pathology?

A

Cause it reduced the saliva flow, people get more stressed, they girnd more

25

A

is a genetic disorder of tooth development. Affecting enamel and dentin. Rapid wear, breakage.
(same but affects both)

28
Q

Whats the loss of dental hard tissue due to a trauma?

A

Fractures

tooth is broken

29
Q

Attrition

A
  • Physiological wear of dental hard tissue as a result of
    tooth to tooth contact (friction).
  • Incisal and occlusal surfaces. Slow and progressive.

    = 65μm/ year

If > 65μm/ year: pathological attrition Bruxism: main cause (x 3-4).

30
Q

Attrition Etiology:

A

Etiology:
‣ Age: age > dental wear.
‣ Sex: men > women
‣ Time: teeth contact aprox. 17,5 minutes/day

(the older we are, the more we present)

31
Q

Pathological attrition, Etiology:

A

‣ Jaw prognathism: Class III.
‣ Class II div 2.
‣ Saliva: xerostomy.
‣ Alteration in teeth calcification (amelogenesis, dentinogenesis imperfecta).

32
Q

Whats hyper function?

A

Clenching and bruxism

33
Q

Attrition occlusion:

A

loss of teeth/contacts > demand on the

remaining teeth.

34
Q

Attrition: Diet

A

Abrasive meals

Habits

35
Q

  • Palatal surface of anterior maxillary teeth
  • Labial surface of anterior mandibular teeth
36
Q

39
Q

A
  • less pulp chamber
  • more periodontal space
  • Hypercementosis
40
Q

Attrition: Treatment

A

Prevention: Normal (physiological) attrition requieres no treatment

  • restorations
  • prosthodontics rehabilitation
  • Occlusal adjustment and mouth guard therapy if malocclusion or bruxism
41
Q

Abrasion

A
  • Pathological wear of dental hard tissue through abnormal mechanical processes. Involving foreign objets or substances repeatedly introduced in the mouth and contacting the teeth (not caused by food or contact between teeth)
  • Occlusal (similar lesion as attrition), incisal and cervical.
42
Q

Abrasion Etiology:

A
  • patients factors
  • brushing techniques
  • habits (nails biting, holding objects between. teeth)
  • materials (toothbrush, dentifrice, piercings, foreign objects, prosthodontics retainers)
43
Q

Abrasion prevalence:

A
  • cervical buccal area of anterior teeth
  • cervical buccal area of posterior teeth
  • incisal edge
  • occlusal
44
Q

Abrasion: treatment

A
  • habit correction
  • dentin desensitisation (Floride varnish etc)
  • restorative (resin, composite restoration
45
Q

Abfraction

A

Micro-structural loss of tooth substance in areas of stress concentration.

46
Q

Abfraction: Etiology

A
  • Repeated compression and flexure of the teeth
    under occlusal loading.
  • Caused by premature contact of teeth.
  • High incidence in bruxists
47
Q

Abfraction: clinically

A

•Lesions can be found only in one tooth in one
segment.
•Predominately it affects buccal surfaces of molars and premolars.
•Wedge-shaped defects limited to cervical region of the teeth

48
Q

Abfraction: enamel

A
  • Micro-fractures (hair line cracks) in cervical regions.
  • Striations, irregular horizontal bands due molecular fractures or “lines of Luder”.
  • Horizontal semilunar/dish-shaped bands. -Cusps tip invagination.
49
Q

Abfraction dentin:

A

Dentin is more elastic and able to withstand greater
tensile stress than enamel:

  • Gingival
  • McCoy notch- interproximal, circunferencial -Subgingival, lingual, multiple, alternating, angular…
50
Q

Abfraction treatment:

A
  • Occlusal adjustment
  • Restorative
  • Mouth guard

(number of teeth that are affected, any brushing techniques, habits etc.(

51
Q

Erosion Etiology- Extrinsic agents

A
  • Acidic contaminants from the working environment (industrial acids, chlorine in swimming pools, painters, wine-tasters…).
  • Medicins:
    ➡ Vit C.
    ➡ Ferric complements.
    ➡ Hydrochloric acid tablets.

Dietary acids:
➡ Implicated foods:
Fizzy drinks (pH 2.2-3.8) Fruit juices (pH 3.0-4.0) Wines (pH 3.2-4.8)
Cider and Beer (pH 3.5-4.0)

52
Q

Erosion intrinsic agents:

A

-Gastric acid
➡ Recurrent vomiting
➡ Regurgitation
➡ Reflux

Self induced eating disorders : anorexia/bulimia Somatic origin: pregnancy, GI disorders (ulcers, hernia..)

53
Q

Erosion biological factors:

A
  • Saliva: dilution and elimination of erosive agent. Acid neutralization and buffering capacity: demineralization.
  • Tooth structure: tooth composition and formation.
  • Anatomy and occlusion: attrition. Para-functional disease could be accelerated by erosion.
  • Acid-wear: tooth > susceptible to attrition and abrasion.
54
Q

Erosion clinically first sign:

A
  • Loss of enamel shine.
  • No bacterial plaque (macroscopic).
  • Round and polished surfaces. Loss of micro- anatomy.
55
Q

Erosion: Treatment

A
  • Eliminate or control etiological factors.

- Restorative.

56
Q

Conclusions

A
  • The causes of tooth surface loss can be multifactorial and hence difficult to eliminate.
  • Tooth wear can be classified as physiological or pathological but no universal guidelines are available to differentiate them. The same tooth wear may be considered as physiological for the elderly, but pathological for a young person.
  • Loss of tooth substance (tooth wear) could alter aesthetics and function.
  • A systematic treatment approach should be needed to manage the situation.
