Abstract:

In this presentation the author will focus on the classification of tooth wear/erosion, identify the aetiology of and risk factors associated with tooth wear/erosion, cover the prevalence and epidemiology of tooth wear/erosion and make correct diagnosis and explain the management. The lecture will also highlight a new concept involving minimally invasive dentistry. With the use of bonded provisional restorations (without any tooth preparation), the changes of VDO, function and aesthetics can be assessed. The state of the art minimally invasive indirect porcelain restoration will also be discussed.
