Leaf gauge as a TMJ deprogrammer

The purpose of this review was to review the various causes and the possible treatment modalities available for the treatment of tooth wear. The prevalence of tooth wear in contemporary populations has not been thoroughly studied but it is rare to find subjects with extensive wear comparable with that in historical skull materials. It is important to correctly evaluate and treat this condition based on etiology. The clinician must take the decision based on his clinical judgments and a thorough knowledge of the problem. Only then can he restore the patients function and esthetics. The data was collected by using PUB MED search using the key words tooth wear, attrition, abrasion, erosion and abfraction.
