Abstract | The number of patients presenting with severe attrition and associated erosion is increasing in frequency. Treatment of this patient group is very challenging as it is simply not just a case of replacing lost tooth tissue, but also trying to identify and then eliminate the aetiological factors responsible for the loss of tooth structure.
In most cases restorative treatment involves extensive rehabilitation of the dentition to restore the aesthetics and
function and also to prevent further tooth loss. Such treatment often involves a multidisciplinary approach to eliminate and/or reduce causative factors prior to defi nitive restoration of teeth.
Treatment needs to focus on quick intervention when the problem has been identifi ed and diagnosed. Restorative treatment involves careful if not complex planning culminating in the establishment of a well defi ned and ongoing maintenance plan. Long-term success of treatment is centred on the maintenance phase.
Current restorative options include the use of extensive resin composite build-ups. This is often the best initial starting point as it allows for adjustments, as well as being a reversible and more conservative procedure. The use of indirect restorations is likely to provide a longer lasting outcome after initial stabilization, whether it is metal- or ceramic-based or a combination. |
