Abstract

Tooth wear alternatively known as Tooth Surface Loss (TSL) is becoming a considerable health problem around the world with an upsurge in prevalence. Management of these patients is a significant challenge in dental profession. Accurate diagnosis is vital with the help of detailed history, examination and appropriate investigations. Identification of possible etiologies supplemented by preventive measures plays a major role in management. Further, minimally invasive treatment strategies should always be promoted. Comprehensive care even with simple restorative and prosthetic techniques can successfully satisfy aesthetic and functional demands of the worn dentition.
