Tooth Wear

This publication is not a textbook but rather a comprehensive review of clinical procedures that can help the practitioner select a proper protocol and suitable materials to more selectively treat the various forms of tooth wear. This “cookbook” is based on the authors’ more than 20 years of experienced treating this pathology. The main focus is the prevention of tooth wear progression with the use of noninvasive and affordable procedures in the proper timeframe, bearing in mind that comprehending this pathology is a lifelong endeavor. For cases where there was no opportunity to intervene early enough, you will also find “recipes” for the proper use of indirect and CAD/CAM-produced restorations. Contents: Diagnosis and Prognosis of Tooth Wear • Treatment Strategies • Occlusal and Functional Factors, Vertical Dimension of Occlusion • Direct Techniques • Shell Techniques • Indirect Techniques • CAD/CAM Techniques • Longevity and Maintenance
