Abstract:

Introduction: Non-carious lesions are caused as a result of tooth surface loss. Several categories of tooth surface loss exist, including erosion, attrition, abrasion and abfraction. Numerous factors, such as bruxism, clenching, disease, dietary considerations, lifestyle choices, improper tooth brushing, abrasive dentrifices, craniofacial complex, iatrogenic dentistry and ageing might contribute to this problem. It can be challenging to identify the cause, but it is feasible by observing the pattern of tooth surface loss on the teeth, and it is essential for treatment planning to avoid failure. Prevention, tooth remineralization and active treatment by repairing the affected teeth are all methods of managing this process. Treatment options include minimally invasive and adhesive dentistry to full mouth rehabilitation, and restoring the lost vertical height. Case Report: A 45-year-old female patient reported to the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics with a chief complaint of sensitivity in the upper front teeth for the past 2 months. The clinical examination showed abrasion on the buccal surface of teeth 13 and 23 with dentin exposure. And also, abfraction with respect to 14. No signs of mobility or pain on percussion. Conclusion: The steps of problem identification, diagnosis, etiological factor removal or treatment, and, if necessary, restoration, are components of treating non-caries lesions. The restorative treatment must be considered for dentin hypersensitivity and for the re-establishing of dental esthetics.
