Tooth Abfraction in Relationship to Occlusal Load Stresses: A Case Report
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 10
Abstract
Dental abfraction is non-carious cervical lesion resulting from flexure forces. As the tooth flex under occlusal load, stresses are transmitted to the cervical area, causing the cervical enamel to fracture and dislodge, and with increased flexure, a v- shaped notch develops. The pathogenesis is related to the occlusal stress that causes non-carious lesion in the enamel and dentin at the cervical region. Clinically, it presents as notches in the tooth structure near or even under the gum line usually on the cheek side of tooth. The restoration treatment is made using an aesthetic adhesive material, but we must take into account the causal factors and the specific area where the restoration is done. This report present a case of abfraction which was successfully treated by Composite restoration material.
