Tooth wear is influenced by stress, nervous tension, harmful habits, improper nutrition, systemic diseases, and age-related factors. However, tooth wear is often a consequence of dental problems, such as irregular occlusion or worn pathways for removable dentures.
Worn teeth should be treated promptly, not only to improve the aesthetic appearance of the smile but also to prevent further negative consequences for oral health. Treatment is recommended when there is visible enamel wear, sensitivity, pain, cracks in hard tissues, or when symptoms of temporomandibular joint disorder (TMD) are observed (headaches, facial pain, clicking while chewing, etc.).
Worn tooth surfaces can be restored using fillings or prosthetic restorations made of next-generation biocompatible materials.
