Dental abrasion is a lesion found in teeth edging, frequently appearing at the cervical level (the tooth – gum limit). The abrasion’s evolution is more present at the tooth’s surface rather than at a deeper level.

Dental abrasion occurs after repeated contact with a foreign body.

Determining factors include:

• The force applied to the tooth brush while brushing;
• The hardness, shape and length of the toothbrush;
• The PH
• The amount of toothpaste used.

Treatment objectives:

• Relieving hypersensitivity and pain;
• Identifying the determining factors and eliminating them;
• Protecting the remaining tooth structure;
• Keeping the patient under supervision.
