Abstract

Loss of tooth tissue occurs in a number of ways, dental caries and trauma being the more obvious ones, although tooth wear in its own right is assuming greater importance. Non-carious destructive processes affecting the teeth, including abrasion, attrition, abfraction and erosion, are presented. According to current knowledge, non-carious destructive processes appear on the dental surfaces free o f plaque. They are non-carious destructive lesions and have multifactorial etiology. The acids producing tooth destruction may be exogenous, endogenous or unknown origin.
