pubmed:abstractText |
Pathological tooth wear is an increasing problem affecting a significant proportion of the population. Although different wear mechanisms have been described, most reports in the literature concentrate on cases in which the predominant mechanisms were erosion and attrition. This article presents an unusual case of abrasive tooth wear caused by a sand eating habit which the patient had adopted as a child. Different causes of "abrasive" wear are discussed and the difficulties in management of this case are also presented.
