Treatment of juvenile occlusal tooth wear with direct composite resin

Treatment of juvenile occlusal tooth wear with direct composite resin
Dr Ken Harris BDS (Ncle), MSc, MFGDP (UK), BACD Fellow

All teeth will wear during use, so called ‘physiological’ wear, but there seems to be little consensus as to what constitutes ‘age-appropriate’ tooth wear. Conversely, there are widely accepted tooth wear indices which give some help
to clinicians to define ‘severe’ tooth wear. Furthermore, most dentists claim to recognise when tooth wear is ‘pathological’ and in need of restorative treatment. However, without a classification system for very early tooth wear, individual clinicians are left to form their own judgement as to whether implement treatment or not.
