Excessive attrition of teeth - what does this mean
Excessive attrition of teeth is a condition caused by the excessive wearing down of the enamel of the teeth due to repeated abrasion from hard foods, grinding, or acid erosion. this can lead to the loss of enamel, exposing the underlying dentin, which can cause sensitivity and cavities.
What happens during the disease - excessive attrition of teeth
Excessive attrition of teeth is a condition in which the enamel and underlying dentin of the teeth are worn down due to excessive forces from activities such as grinding, clenching, or chewing. this is caused by an imbalance in the dynamic forces of the jaw muscles and the teeth, which can be caused by bruxism, malocclusion, or a combination of both. in addition, excessive attrition can be caused by acidic foods and drinks, as they can erode the enamel and dentin layers of the teeth. if left untreated, excessive attrition can lead to pain, sensitivity, and an increased risk of tooth decay and infection.
