Dental Attrition
Dental attrition is a form of dental wear caused by tooth on tooth contact without any foreign substance intervention. The friction caused by the teeth rubbing against one another can wear away the biting surfaces of the teeth over time. Tooth wear is a physiological process and is commonly seen as a normal part of aging. Advanced and excessive wear and tooth surface loss can be defined as pathological in nature, requiring intervention by a dental practitioner. Although some degree of attrition is often observed as part of the aging process, some people may experience more rapid and advanced attrition as a result of dental disorders.
