* Animal model- may increase? Human?

A
  • No evidence that this causes periodontal
    attachment loss in humans
  • Limited evidence (animal and human) that it
    causes inflammation in the periodontal ligament
  • Observational studies that TOF may be
    associated with severity of periodontitis
  • Animal model- may increase alveolar bone loss
  • Human- no evidence
47
Q

A

NO EVIDENCE that TOF causes non-carious cervical
lesions (NCCLs). Most studies used finite element
analysis (not clinical)
NCCLs may result from abrasion, erosion or corrosion

48
Q

EVIDENCE from observational studies that Traumatic
Occlusal Force does NOT cause gingival recession

49
Q

A

No credible clinical evidence to support existence of
abfraction
Therefore there can be no evidence implicating
abfraction as cause of recession
