Abstract

Patients with tooth wear are commonly encountered in general dental practice. When indicated, restorative rehabilitation is often accompanied by a request from the patient for an aesthetic, tooth-coloured outcome. This article seeks to provide an evidence-based approach, focussing on the longevity of the materials which can be used for the restorative treatment of tooth wear, as well as their modes of failure and observed performance.

Keywords: Dahl concept; Tooth wear; dental composite; erosion; occlusal vertical dimension.
