Changes in Oral Health-Related Quality of Life after (non-)restorative treatment of tooth wear in adult patients: a systematic review. J Dent 2024:105428. [PMID: 39433149 DOI: 10.1016/j.jdent.2024.105428] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2024] [Revised: 10/17/2024] [Accepted: 10/18/2024] [Indexed: 10/23/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Literature was systematically reviewed to determine the impact of tooth wear management on the Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL) amongst adult patients with tooth wear. DATA A protocol was developed, a priori (PROSPERO) following the PRISMA guidelines. To assess risk of bias and certainty of evidence the RoB2-tool, JBI-tool, and GRADE were used. SOURCES PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Embase and Web of Science were searched. The first search took place on 21.10.2022, subsequently updated in May 2024. STUDY selection Inclusion criteria were RCT's, quasi-RCT's, prospective- or retrospective-studies with adult patients with moderate to severe tooth wear, treated restoratively and/or with counseling and monitoring that were also assessed for OHRQoL during at least two time points. Exclusion criteria were, studies with children, OHRQoL only measured once, narrative and systematic reviews, conference abstracts, technical reports, consensus papers, and any other type of non-clinical study. RESULTS Six papers were included in this review. Overall, qualitative analysis revealed an increase in OHRQoL after restorative treatment, and no change in OHRQoL after one year of counseling and monitoring. Some studies showed a slightly negative effect on esthetics in the years post-treatment, and some of the dimensions of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) did not change or demonstrated minor change only. For the RCT's, blinding of participants and operators was not possible, as the participants had an awareness of the treatment. For the non-RCT's, the primary issue was the lack of control, with a general high risk of bias. CONCLUSION The provision of restorative treatment in patients with moderate to severe tooth wear frequently results in a positive impact on OHRQoL. Further research is required to substantiate the importance of OHRQoL for the treatment of (tooth wear) patients. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The outcomes may help dentists and researchers better understand the advantages of using PROMS in their clinical work or research as valuable outcomes.

Load-bearing capacity, internal accuracy and time-efficiency of heat-pressed, milled and 3D-printed lithium disilicate ultra-thin occlusal veneers. Dent Mater 2024; 40:1602-1610. [PMID: 39079765 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2024.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 07/22/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 09/17/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this in vitro study was to compare the load-bearing capacity of lithium disilicate occlusal veneers, fabricated via different manufacturing processes. Secondary objectives included assessing internal accuracy and production time-efficiency. METHODS Four fabrication methods for ultra-thin lithium disilicate occlusal veneers on extracted human molars with simulated erosive defects were compared (n = 20/group): CAM: milled lithium disilicate (IPS e.max CAD); HPR: heat-pressed lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press) out of a milled PMMA template (Ddpmma CAST); 3DP: 3D-printed lithium disilicate (experimental lithium disilicate); PTE: heat-pressed lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press) out of a 3D-printed template (SilaPrint cast). Internal accuracy was measured prior to thermo-mechanical aging, followed by static loading to measure the load-bearing capacity (Fmax). Fabrication time (time-efficiency) was also recorded. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis (KW) test. RESULTS No statistically significant differences were found in median load-bearing capacities (Fmax) between the groups (KW p = 0.5902): CAM 1821 N, HPR 1896 N, 3DP 2003 N, PTE 1687 N. Significant differences were found in internal accuracy between the groups that employed printing processes (3DP, PTE) and all other groups in margins (p < 0.001), cusps (p < 0.0018), and fossae (p < 0.0346). The time-efficiency measurements indicated an increase in fabrication time, starting from CAM 67.2 ± 5.8 min, followed by HPR 200.8 ± 33.0 min, PTE 289.2 ± 38.7 min, and peaking with the highest duration observed for 3DP 701.6 ± 8.1 min. SIGNIFICANCE The fabrication method of ultra-thin lithium disilicate occlusal veneers does not significantly impact their load-bearing capacity, but affects the clinical fit and adaptation of the veneers.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition that manifests through various signs and symptoms. These individual signs and symptoms were described in multiple studies, leading to the inclusion in TWES 2.0 (Tooth Wear Evaluation System 2.0) and the forthcoming DC-TW (Diagnostic Criteria for Tooth Wear). However, a study evaluating their reliability has yet to be conducted. OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to examine the reliability in the assessment of 6 signs of pathological tooth wear and 18 clinical signs and symptoms determining aetiology, all of which are included in the TWES 2.0/DC-TW. METHODS 48 dental students (operators) evaluated patient cases from a patient pool of 14 patients on dental casts and high-resolution intraoral photographs. The agreement between all operators for each sign and symptom was calculated based on ICC (Intraclass Correlation Coefficients). Additionally, the agreement of each operator's evaluation with a predefined sample solution was calculated based on Cohen's kappa. RESULTS Inter-user agreement ranged from near perfect (0.91) to poor (0.02) for the various pathology signs or aetiology symptoms of tooth wear (mean 0.32). The agreements of the operator's ratings compared to the sample solution resulted in Cohen's kappa from 0.18 to 1 (mean 0.59) for the pathology signs and ranged from 0.02 to 0.51 for the aetiology signs (mean 0.38). CONCLUSIONS The reliability of the signs and symptoms examined and the ability of individual investigators to correctly identify and assign signs and symptoms varied widely. The current assessment tools for the qualification of tooth wear need further refinement, and examiners need intensive training in tooth wear assessment.

[PMID: 37605963 DOI: 10.1111/jerd.13103] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/18/2023] [Revised: 04/26/2023] [Accepted: 06/27/2023] [Indexed: 08/23/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of ceramic thickness and dental substrate (enamel vs. dentin/enamel) on the survival rate and failure load of non-retentive occlusal veneers. MATERIALS AND METHODS Human maxillary molars (n = 60) were divided into five test-groups (n = 12). The groups (named DE-1.5, DE-1.0, DE-0.5, E-1.0, E-0.5) differed in their dental substrate (E = enamel, DE = dentin/enamel) and restoration thickness (standard: 1.5 mm, thin: 1.0 mm, ultrathin: 0.5 mm). All teeth were prepared for non-retentive monolithic lithium-disilicate occlusal veneers (IPS e.max Press, Ivoclar). Restorations were adhesively cemented (Syntac Classic/Variolink II, Ivoclar) and exposed to thermomechanical fatigue (1.2 million cycles, 1.6 Hz, 49 N/ 5-55°C). Single load to failure was performed using a universal testing-machine. A linear-regression model was applied, pairwise comparisons used the Student-Newman-Keuls method (p < 0.05). RESULTS Three dentin-based occlusal veneers (one DE-1.0, two DE-0.5) revealed cracks after fatigue exposure, which corresponds to an overall-survival rate of 95%. Load to failure resulted in the following ranking: 2142 N(DE-0.5) > 2105 N(E-1.0) > 2075 N(E-0.5) > 1440 N(DE-1.5) > 1430 N(DE-1.0). Thin (E-1.0) and ultrathin enamel-based occlusal veneers (E-0.5) revealed high failure loads and surpassed the standard thickness dentin-based veneers (DE-1.5) significantly (p = 0.044, p = 0.022). CONCLUSION All tested monolithic lithium disilicate occlusal veneers obtained failure loads above physiological chewing forces. Thin and ultrathin enamel-based occlusal veneers outperformed the standard thick dentin-based occlusal veneers. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Minimally invasive enamel-based occlusal veneer restorations with non-retentive preparation design may serve as a conservative treatment option.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-carious tooth wear often has a multifactorial etiology and may lead to functional or aesthetically related problems. The most common complaints associated with tooth wear are dissatisfaction with dental appearance and a negative impact on the experienced Oral Health Related Quality of Life (OHRQoL). The aim of this study was to investigate the change in OHRQoL and the perception of aesthetics, following restorative treatment of moderate to severe tooth wear patients, with a five-year follow-up. METHODS An explorative study, based on prospective data, was performed. OHRQoL and the perception of aesthetics were measured with the OHIP-NL and OES-NL. These questionnaires were completed before treatment, one month after treatment, and at 1-, 3- and 5-years post-treatment. Treatment involved full mouth reconstruction with composite resin restorations. The data was analysed as repeated measures by using a linear mixed-effects model. RESULTS One hundred and twenty-three tooth wear patients that received restorative rehabilitation were included (97 males, 26 females, 37.5 ± 8.8 years-old). Data showed a statistically significant increase in both experienced OHRQoL and orofacial appearance after restorative treatment. The OHIP-scores remained stable over time, while the OES-scores slightly decreased during the years after treatment. Regarding the seven domains of the OHIP, the largest difference in OHIP-score was found in the domain of 'Psychological Discomfort'. The mean overall OHIP-score was 1.8 at baseline and 1.3 at the 5-years recall. The mean OES score increased from 41.8 at baseline to 66.1 at the 5-years follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Tooth wear patients reported significant improvements in their OHRQoL and their perception of orofacial aesthetics after restorative treatment. This increase remained at least five years post-treatment. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The clinical impact of restorative treatment for tooth wear patients is considerable. This paper emphasizes the need to include a discussion of the patient related outcome measures when planning care.

Abstract
Tooth wear is a multifactorial process of complex aetiology. It may be considered a physiological or pathological process depending upon the rate and degree of occurrence. The patients may present with symptoms of sensitivity, pain, headaches or recurrent loss of restorations and prostheses, leading to loss of function. This case report describes the rehabilitation of a 65-year-old male patient with intrinsic dental erosion combined with generalised attrition. The restorative treatment aimed at restoring anterior guidance, establishing a stable occlusion for the patient with minimal intervention.

Abstract
Patients with more severe forms of tooth wear may require restorative rehabilitation. The decision to commence treatment must be taken carefully and there are a multitude of factors to consider. Alongside the clinical signs and symptoms typically associated with tooth wear, there is also the need to assess the impact of the condition on the patient's oral health-related quality of life. As part of the discussions relating to the attainment of informed consent for the restoration of the worn dentition, not only is it relevant to appropriately appraise the risks, benefits, costs, reasonable alternatives and likely prognosis of the proposed treatments, but to also elaborate on the expected impact of the intervention on the patient's oral health-related quality of life. The aim of this article is to review the evidence relating to the impact of the quality of life with the management of tooth wear, with the introduction of the concept of an evidence-based approach to decision-making when planning care.

Abstract
Traditional cold layering composite techniques can have limitations in the aesthetic rehabilitation of advanced tooth wear, with potentially high maintenance/failure rates and compromised aesthetics. This article explores advances in materials and clinical techniques involving monolithic ceramics and direct monolithic composites. These restorations satisfy the most aesthetically demanding patient, providing good to excellent aesthetics and long-term predictability.

Abstract
In the next part of this series on tooth wear management, we discuss the indications and clinical stages for the provision of removable prostheses for the treatment of severely worn and depleted dentitions. The general design features of a complex prosthesis are described for reorganised occlusal schemes and maintenance guidelines are explained. In addition, the clinical stages for three different situations are described: removable-only approaches, and combined fixed and removable in the same arch and separate arches. The value of providing removable prostheses in worn dentitions allows the immediate rehabilitation of severely worn teeth taking a non-invasive and retrievable approach when the remaining dentition is of poor quality or structure and/or there are missing teeth.

Beddis HP, Davies SJ. Relationships between tooth wear, bruxism and temporomandibular disorders. Br Dent J 2023; 234:422-426. [PMID: 36964364 DOI: 10.1038/s41415-023-5584-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2022] [Revised: 10/24/2022] [Accepted: 11/01/2022] [Indexed: 03/26/2023]
Abstract
This article will provide an overview of the diagnosis of common temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) and bruxism, along with their relevance in management of tooth wear. When assessing and managing a tooth wear case, the teeth should not be considered in isolation, but as part of the articulatory system, which has three inter-related elements: the teeth, the temporomandibular joints and the masticatory muscles. The presence/absence of bruxism and TMD are highly relevant, although there may not be a causal relationship between these. A consideration of TMD and bruxism, together with the potential impact these may have on the patient during and after any management of tooth wear, will form part of patient education and the informed consent process.

Abstract
Tooth wear is a commonly reported finding globally; however, many patients are unaware of having tooth wear. Identifying early signs of erosion, abrasion or attrition and determining the risk factors contributing to a patient's tooth wear may help to prevent further loss of enamel and dentine in the future. Appropriate prevention should be instigated, or appropriate referral made to other health professionals, when conditions such as gastroesophageal reflux or eating disorders are suspected. This paper presents the epidemiology and aetiological factors for tooth wear, as well as identifying the common clinical presentations of tooth wear. Patient perspectives on tooth wear and preventive techniques that can be utilised are also discussed.

Pressable lithium disilicate ceramic versus CAD/CAM resin composite restorations in patients with moderate to severe tooth wear: Clinical observations up to 13 years. J ESTHET RESTOR DENT 2023; 35:116-128. [PMID: 35919964 DOI: 10.1111/jerd.12947] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/23/2022] [Revised: 07/09/2022] [Accepted: 07/11/2022] [Indexed: 11/30/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To report the long-term clinical survival and failure rates of single-tooth restorations made of pressable lithium disilicate ceramics (LS2 ) and CAD/CAM resin composite (RC) by two separate clinical observations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients (12 female, nine male) were treated with 436 minimally invasive single-tooth restorations made of 274 pressed LS2 (n = 12; posterior: monolithic IPS e.max Press; anterior: IPS e.max Ceram veneered, Ivoclar) or 162 milled from RC (n = 9; monolithic exp. CAD/CAM resin composite, Ivoclar). The mean age of patients was 44.1 ± 9.3 years and the mean observation time was 86.2 ± 13.5 months (7.7 ± 1.1 years), with 8.5 ± 2.7 years for LS2 and 6.7 ± 0.5 years for RC. All restorations were observed for technical/biological failures using the modified criteria of the United States Public Health Service (USPHS). Collected data were analyzed using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and log-rank test (α < 0.025). RESULTS The 274 LS2 restorations showed a survival of 100% and a total failure rate of 5.5%. The 162 RC restorations showed a survival of 100% and a total failure rate of 25.3%. RC restorations exhibited more material fractures (p = 0.020) and higher discoloration rates (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS Pressed LS2 single-tooth restorations showed lower long-term failure rates than restorations made of RC. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Despite the limitations of the clinical observations, single-tooth restorations of both materials can be recommended for permanent use in patients with severe tooth wear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Erosive tooth wear (ETW) is defined as the irreversible chemo-mechanical loss of dental hard tissues without plaque or bacteria and has been a growing phenomenon in the general population worldwide. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of ETW and the associated risk factors among young military personnel in Singapore. MATERIALS AND METHODS This cross-sectional study consisted of a questionnaire and clinical examination of military personnel between 18 and 25 years. The questionnaire collected information on demographics, medical and dental history, lifestyle and dietary habits. Tooth wear was clinically evaluated using the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index. The participants were profiled into four risk categories (none, low, moderate, severe) based on the sum score. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the risk factors associated with the presence of ETW. RESULTS Out of 1296 participants evaluated, 21.8% of them had ETW. The anterior sextants were more affected by erosion than posterior sextants for both arches. The risk factors significantly associated with ETW were GERD (OR = 2.83, p = 0.041), presence of self-reported TMD symptoms (OR = 2.51, p < 0.001), acidic food (OR = 2.03, p < 0.001) and drinks (OR = 3.07, p < 0.001), high caries risk (OR = 4.59, p < 0.001) and toothbrush stiffness (OR = 4.67, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION ETW is prevalent among the young military population, with over half of the population at a risk of ETW. Gastric reflux disease, TMD, acidic diet, dental caries susceptibility and the use of stiff toothbrushes were identified as significant risk factors. CLINICAL RELEVANCE A large proportion of young military personnel exhibited mild to moderate risk of ETW. Dental professionals can identify risk-susceptible individuals at a young age and educated them with preventive measures and dietary interventions to prevent the progression of the condition.

Abstract
Bruxism is a term that encompasses a range of presentations of rhythmic and repetitive muscular activity. For many, this is not a significant problem but for some, this behaviour leads to substantial impact and tissue damage that can be significant, compromising function and quality of life. This paper will review management methods for reconstructing the damaged dentition. Reconstruction is complex. Interventions should be pragmatic and guidance is provided in a themed approach. Interventions may be conformative or reconstructive. The grinding style should be identified to allow reconstruction to work with activity, not in conflict. Preservation of tooth tissue is essential and direct placed bonded composite materials are biologically friendly, easily repaired, cheap and act as stress breakers. Complex fixed restorative reconstruction and implant supported bridges are likely to have high failure rates and must be protected with occlusal splints. Reconstructions should be planned with maximum retrievability and removable options figure significantly in effective treatment plans.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the association and level of evidence between socioeconomic status (SES) and tooth wear (TW) in children, adolescents, and adults. DATA Eligibility criteria comprised population-based observational studies assessing the association between SES and TW in permanent dentition of adolescents and adults. Interventional and descriptive studies or those without an internal comparison between exposed and nonexposed groups were excluded. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines were applied where applicable. Risk of bias (RoB) was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Meta-analyses were conducted to estimate the pooled effect measures. Q-statistic, I2statistic, subgroup and sensitivity analyses assessed study heterogeneity. SOURCES PubMed/Medline, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, LILACS, SciELO, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar databases were searched for articles published in English between 1st January 1980 and 31st March 2021. RESULTS Sixty-five studies were included, involving 63,893 participants in over 30 countries. A positive association was found between TW and education (OR=1.25 [0.96; 1.62]), family income (OR=1.18 [0.91; 1.53]), and private school (OR= 1.24 [0.90; 1.72]) among adolescents. Higher educated adults had a lower risk for TW (OR=0.70 [0.52; 0.93]). Most included studies had a moderate RoB. Limitations relating to population representation and assessment methodologies were identified in the included studies. CONCLUSIONS SES was associated with TW with its direction depending on the individuals' age. The overall quality of evidence was moderate. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANC SES should be included as part of the routine screening and risk assessment for tooth wear.

Abstract
Introduction:
This case report describes a conservative restorative approach in the management of severe generalized tooth wear.
Case report:
The male, aged 57 years, was mainly concerned with the poor appearance of his teeth with short and discolored upper incisors. History revealed that he suffered from gastric reflux for 25 years, for which he was prescribed Ranitidine and was advised to self-medicate with cider vinegar. Furthermore, he divulged that he ground his teeth at night and during the day and had a high intake of carbonated cola drinks. On examination, dentine was exposed in several areas, and to a significant extent, on the incisal aspects of the lower incisors, the palatal surfaces of the upper incisors, and the occlusal surfaces of the molars. Mandibular tori were present.
The primary diagnosis was erosive tooth wear with elements of attrition and abrasion. The intervention included dietary advice and restoration with direct composite resin at an increased occlusal vertical dimension of 1.5mm on the retruded axis. The patient reported no functional problems and was pleased with the aesthetic result.
Conclusion:
Vinegar is promoted to have health benefits, especially with respect to glucose response, but the dental implications are overlooked. This paper reviews the literature on vinegar as a medicament and considers its role as a co-factor for erosion in this case. The clinical steps used to restore the eroded dentition by direct composite are described. The use of this approach is a safe, conservative and successful treatment option without recourse to complex and biologically costly conventional alternatives. The application of direct composite in tooth wear cases meets the European consensus requirements.

Abstract
Bulk-fill composites are increasingly used in stress-bearing areas in posterior teeth, with a diversity of reports concerning their effectiveness and clinical reliability. The objective of this randomized clinical control study was to investigate the effectiveness of bulk-fill versus veneered bulk-fill Class II composite restorations. A double-blind split-mouth technique was employed in 80 subjects recruited for restoring Class II caries in one molar bilaterally in the same arch following respective inclusion and exclusion criteria and after obtaining written consent. While one molar was randomly restored with bulk-fill composite using the sealed-envelope technique, Tetric N-Ceram Bulk Fill (TBF), the contralateral was restored with a bulk-fill composite veneered with an increment of a heavy-body microhybrid composite-Tetric-Ceram HB (TBF/V). Box-only cavities were prepared and received etch-and-rinse adhesive bonding and Tetric N-Bond treatment before composite insertion. Restorations were assessed at 24 hours, 2 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 24 months for esthetic, functional, and biological quality employing the FDI ranking criteria. Friedman repeated-measures analysis of variance, the McNemar test, and the Cohen's kappa statistical test were used for statistical analysis. Over a 24-month interval, none of the test restorations were ranked as clinically unsatisfactory. In terms of functional criteria, clinically excellent restorations were significantly more prevalent in TBF/V than in TBF (p<0.05). For long-term satisfactory performance of Class II bulk-fill composites, an occlusal veneering increment of conventional heavy body microhybrid composite appears to be favorable.

Longitudinal 3D Study of Anterior Tooth Wear from Adolescence to Adulthood in Modern Humans. BIOLOGY 2021; 10:biology10070660.

Abstract
Simple Summary Tooth wear is the loss of tooth substance during everyday functioning by means other than dental caries. It is expected at a certain level in every person, and it increases with age. In the last decades, due to the increased life expectancy and high patient demands, it has become an important problem modern dentistry has to face. However, the average amount of tooth wear among individuals remains controversial. The purpose of this clinical study was to precisely detect the extent of anterior tooth wear over a thirteen-year period, from adolescence to adulthood. The present study revealed the very high tooth wear occurrence in the population already at early adulthood and showed that wear monitoring at an individual level is important for dentists to enable the better understanding of the problem and allow timely targeted interventions for patients in need. These might be preventive, such as the prescription of mouth guards to limit grinding and the cessation of harmful habits that lead to tooth wear, or interceptive, such as the restoration of the lost tooth substance to stop the progress of the condition and improve esthetics and function. Abstract In modern humans, tooth wear can easily be observed as a loss of tooth substance, but its precise measurement is problematic. The aim of this longitudinal cohort study was to determine the precise amount of occlusal tooth wear in the anterior permanent dentition from adolescence to adulthood. Corresponding tooth crowns from serial 3D digital dental models of 72 individuals were best fit-approximated by applying novel, highly accurate 3D superimposition methods. The superimposed crowns were simultaneously sliced on intact structures, and the differences in the volumes of the subsequent occlusal parts were calculated. Over a thirteen-year period, there was an average loss of anterior occlusal surfaces of 1.58 mm3 per tooth. Tooth surface loss in at least one tooth was higher than 1 mm3 in 93.1% of the human subjects. Tooth wear severity differed by sex and tooth type, with males showing higher values versus females and upper canines versus other anterior teeth. The study revealed the endemic occurrence of occlusal anterior tooth wear, highlighting the need for monitoring of the condition in the population to identify high-risk patients and enable timely interventions. The novel methods applied here on 3D digital models are recommended for this.

Abstract
We evaluated the quality of general dental practitioner (GDP) tooth wear (TW) referrals to secondary care services in Kent, Surrey and Sussex.Prospective consecutive referrals received via an electronic pathway were assessed from 1 June to 30 October 2019. Reasons for referral, patient demographics, quality of referral, opinion of the triaging clinician and outcome were assessed.Of 671 referrals, 32% were for TW. Males were referred more commonly (1.7:1.0). The median age was 52. Patients were more likely to be referred from distant locations than places closer to the referral centre (p<0.001). Only 55% of referrals suggested a cause for the TW, 33% provided a clinical photograph and 1% recorded a tooth wear index of any type. Referring clinicians most commonly cited attrition as reason for referral (p<0.001). Those under 40 years were referred for erosion (p=0.001) and those over 40 years, attrition (p=0.019). The triaging clinician was more likely to allocate a tooth wear score of three for those under 40 years and a score of four for over 40 years (p<0.001). 47% of referrals were rejected. Males and referrals with photographs were more likely to be accepted for treatment (p=0.017 and p<0.001, respectively).There is a high demand for specialist TW services. The number of referrals being rejected has not changed using the electronic referral system. We advocate the inclusion of mandatory fields for completion by GDPs as well as compulsory clinical photographs and tooth wear indices (Smith and Knight Tooth Wear Index or a basic erosive wear examination - BEWE index).

Abstract
Background The Tooth Wear Evaluation System (TWES) is a type of tooth wear index. To date, there is the lack of data comparing the reliability of the application of this index on gypsum cast records and digital greyscale intra‐oral scan records. Objectives A comparative evaluation between the use of gypsum cast records and digital greyscale intra‐oral scan records with the reliability of tooth wear scoring using the TWES amongst a group of patients with tooth wear. Methods Records for 10 patients with moderate to severe tooth wear (TWES ≥ 2) were randomly selected from a larger clinical trial. TWES grading of the occlusal/incisal, buccal and palatal/lingual surfaces was performed to determine the levels of intra‐ and interobserver agreement. Intra‐observer reproducibility was based on the findings of one examiner only. For the interobserver reproducibility, the findings of two examiners were considered. One set of models/ records were used per patient. Cohen's weighted kappa (κW) was used to ascertain agreement between and within the observers. Comparison of agreement was performed using t tests (P < .05). Results For the scoring of the of the total occlusal/incisal surfaces, the overall levels of intra‐ and interobserver agreement were significantly higher using the gypsum cast records than with the digital greyscale intra‐oral scan records, (P < .001) and (P < .001), respectively. For the overall buccal surfaces, only a significant difference was found in the intra‐observer agreement using gypsum casts, (P = .013). For the palatal/lingual surfaces, a significant difference was only reported in the interobserver agreement using gypsum casts, (P = .043). At the occlusal/incisal surfaces, grading performed using gypsum casts, culminated in significantly higher TWES scores than with the use of the digital greyscale intra‐oral scans (P < .001). At the buccal and palatal/lingual surfaces, significantly higher wear scores were obtained using digital greyscale intra‐oral scan records (P < .009). Conclusions The TWES can offer a reliable means for the scoring of wearing occlusal/incisal surfaces using gypsum casts. The reliability offered by digital greyscale intra‐oral scans for consecutive scoring was in general, inferior.

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Evidence is sparse regarding the long-term outcomes of restorative treatment of patients with extensive tooth wear. PURPOSE The purpose of this long-term prospective randomized clinical trial was to evaluate the performance and success rate of pressed lithium disilicate (LD) and translucent zirconia (TZ) crowns in participants with extensive tooth wear. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 62 participants with extensive tooth wear (17 women, 45 men; mean age 44.8 years; range 25-63 years) received a total of 713 crowns, LD=362 and TZ=351. Both types of crowns had chamfer preparations and were adhesively luted with dual-polymerizing composite resin cement (PANAVIA F 2.0; Kuraray Noritake Dental Inc). The restorations were clinically reevaluated on average 14, 31, 39, 54, and 65 months after insertion of the crowns according to the modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria. RESULTS After an observation period of up to 6 years, the survival rate for both types of crowns was 99.7%, with 1 lost LD crown after 1 year as a result of loss of retention and 1 lost TZ crown after 3 years because of tooth fracture at the cemento-enamel junction. The success rates were similar for both types of crowns: 98.6% for LD and 99.1% for TZ. Reasons for failures were that 3 participants in each group developed apical lesions, minimal ceramic fractures, or their crowns were rebonded after loss of adhesion. Assessment of color at baseline was significantly different with a better match for LD (84.8% Alfa, 15.2% Bravo) than for TZ crowns (36.5% Alfa, 63.5% Bravo), including TZ crowns with veneered porcelain (P<.001). Secondary caries and cracks did not occur. A post hoc analysis of clinical performance did not indicate any significant differences between extensive tooth wear with primarily mechanical or chemical factors. CONCLUSIONS No differences were found between the 2 types of ceramic materials concerning the long-term success and clinical performance, except that TZ crowns were rated by a blinded clinician as less esthetic than LD crowns. The use of high-strength ceramic materials, as well as reliable adhesive bonding, are probably the key factors in the long-term success of ceramic crowns in participants with extensive tooth wear independent of the specific etiology.

Abstract
Introduction Restoring complex tooth wear (TW) cases is technically challenging and not well-remunerated under the NHS General Dental Service (GDS) contract. Therefore, numbers of referrals to secondary care are increasing, but these are often rejected as dental hospitals have a high workload. This may make it difficult for patients with TW to access appropriate care unless paying privately, which may be costly for them.Aim The aim of this investigation was to understand how general dental practitioners (GDPs) in Leeds manage complex TW cases.Methods A postal questionnaire was designed and piloted before postal distribution to all GDPs with a Leeds postcode (n = 289). Non-responders were sent reminders to complete the questionnaire. The questionnaire included questions on the place of qualification and experience of the dentists, their management of an example complex TW case and the potential barriers to management of similar cases. The resulting data were statistically tested using Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney tests.Results A total of 148 (51%) responded to the questionnaire. There was low confidence in restoring complex TW cases with a mean score of 4.65 out of 10 (0 being not confident at all and 10 being very confident). Only 30 respondents (21%) reported that they would treat complex TW cases under the current NHS GDS contract, and 90 (62%) reported that they had experienced difficulty referring these cases to hospital. Kruskal-Wallis testing showed increased confidence in restoring by those with a diploma or MSc (p = 0.004 and p = 0.014 respectively). Mann-Whitney testing showed those undertaking a higher percentage of NHS work were less likely to restore these cases (U = 2,100; p = 0.02).Conclusion These results suggest that Leeds patients with complex TW may have difficulty in accessing appropriate care under the current NHS GDS contract. The results highlight the benefits of postgraduate education on confidence in restoring complex TW cases.

Abstract
Objectives Tooth wear is a common finding in adult patients with dental sleep disorders. The aim of this paper was to review the literature on the possible associations between tooth wear and the following dental sleep disorders: sleep‐related oro‐facial pain, oral moistening disorders, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) and sleep bruxism. Methods A PubMed search was performed on 1 June 2018 using MeSH terms in the following query: Tooth Wear AND (Facial Pain OR Temporomandibular Joint Disorders OR Xerostomia OR Sialorrhea OR Gastroesophageal Reflux OR Sleep Apnea Syndrome OR Sleep Bruxism). Results The query yielded 706 reports on tooth wear and the mentioned dental sleep disorders. Several associations between tooth wear and the dental sleep disorders were suggested in the literature. It could be concluded that: (a) tooth wear is associated with dental pain and/or hypersensitivity; (b) oral dryness is associated with tooth wear, oro‐facial pain and sleep bruxism; (c) GERD is associated with tooth wear, oro‐facial pain, oral dryness, OSAS and sleep bruxism; (d) OSAS is associated with oral dryness, GERD and sleep bruxism; and (e) sleep bruxism is associated with tooth wear. Conclusions Tooth wear is associated with the dental sleep disorders oro‐facial pain, oral dryness, GERD and sleep bruxism. The dental sleep disorders are interlinked with each other, which leads to indirect associations as well, and makes the consequences of each single condition difficult to disentangle. Knowledge of these associations is clinically relevant, but more research is needed to confirm their validity.

Abstract
This review focusses on tribological aspects of teeth during function, the clinical significance of wear, wear of natural teeth and restorative materials and laboratory methods to simulate wear of restorative materials. Ceramic, metal alloy and amalgam show low material wear, whereas resin-based materials demonstrate substantial wear in the long term. The clinical wear shows a high variability with the patient factor accounts for about 50% of the variability. Wear as such seldomly compromises the function of the stomatognath system or individual teeth and is in most cases an esthetic problem. Particles that are ingested due to attrition and abrasion wear may pose a health risk to the patient, especially those from composite resin materials. However, systematic clinical studies on that issue are not available. For laboratory research many wear simulation devices and methods have been developed but only few are validated and have a moderate correlation with clinical wear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To analyze the change of oral health impact profile (OHIP) in patients with full-mouth rehabilitations due to moderate/severe tooth wear dependent on different restorative materials (ceramic/experimental CAD/CAM composite). MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-nine healthy patients (15 male/14 female, age 44.6 ± 28.4 years) requiring full-mouth rehabilitation due to different degrees of tooth wear were instructed to fill the German version OHIP-G49 questionnaire before (baseline) and 30 days after prosthetic treatment with ceramic (n = 17) or experimental CAD/CAM composite (n = 12) restorations. Questions were divided into five dimensions: appearance, oral functions, psychosocial impact, linguistic limitations, and orofacial pain; changes between both OHIP-questionnaires for each question and patient were dissected by difference values, separately. Data were analyzed with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Wilcoxon's signed-rank, Kruskal-Wallis, Mann-Whitney, and Cronbach's alpha tests (significance level p = 0.01). RESULTS The appearance dimension showed the highest results (p < 0.001, 100% improvement with all values > 0); the linguistic limitations dimension presented the lowest improvement (p < 0.001). The other three dimensions were not statistically different. No statistical differences between the two materials depending on OHIP questionnaire results occurred. CONCLUSIONS The esthetic appearance of the patients was influenced positively by full-mouth rehabilitation, irrespective of the material used. Improvements were also made in the parameters "toothache" and "problem of food intake." No statements could be made for the parameter "language." CLINICAL RELEVANCE With an increasing number of patients with moderate/severe tooth wear, thorough knowledge about the improvement of OHIP is important. This information is advantageous for the consultation and handling of patients when complex treatments are planned.

Abstract
This paper aims to provide the dentist with practical guidance on the technique for direct composite restoration of worn teeth. It is based on current evidence and includes practical advice regarding type of composite, enamel and dentine preparation, dentine bonding and stent design. The application of direct composite has the advantage of being additive, conserving as much of the remaining worn tooth as possible, ease of placement and adjustment, low maintenance and reversibility. A pragmatic approach to management is advocated, particularly as many of the cases are older patients with advanced wear. Several cases restored by direct composite build-ups illustrate what can be achieved. The restoration of the worn dentition may be challenging for many dentists. Careful planning and simple treatment strategies, however, can prove to be highly effective and rewarding. By keeping any intervention as simple as possible, problems with high maintenance are avoided and management of future failure is made easier. An additive rather than a subtractive treatment approach is more intuitive for worn down teeth. Traditional approaches of full-mouth rehabilitation with indirect cast or milled restorations may still have their place but complex treatment modalities will inevitably be more time consuming, more costly, possibly require specialist care and still have an unpredictable outcome. Composite resin restorations are a universal restorative material familiar to dentists from early-on in the undergraduate curriculum. This review paper discusses the application of composite to restore the worn dentition.

Abstract
Attrition is an enigmatic condition often found in older individuals and often as a result of bruxism which can take place as a result of either day bruxism, night bruxism or both. Various studies and systemic reviews clearly shown that tooth wear is an age-related phenomena and the last Adult Dental Health Survey showed that 15% of participants showed moderate wear and 3% severe wear with 80% of patients over 50 years of age showing signs of wear. This review examines current theories around the aetiological factors contributing to attrition together with the clinical management of attrition focusing on minimal intervention where possible.

Abstract
The aim of this article is to describe a systematic approach that facilitates the establishment of a clear and appropriate diagnosis when a dentate patient presents with tooth wear involving their aesthetic zone. It will also detail the protocols that are required to allow for the development of an acceptable aesthetic prescription within the limits of the functional constraints presented by the patient (where active restorative intervention may be indicated), as well as to communicate the manner by which this information can be transferred to ultimately enable the successful and predictable rehabilitation of the affected areas. An overview will also be provided of the tooth-coloured dental materials and restorative techniques that have been commonly applied to deliver the predictable and effective dental care of worn teeth in the aesthetic zone.

Abstract
Objective The purpose of this study was to identify the level of oral health-related quality of life and orofacial appearance in patients with moderate to severe tooth wear. Patients with and without a request for restorative treatment were included. Methods One hundred twenty-four patients (98 men, 26 women, mean age: 40.5 ± 8.8 years) with moderate to severe tooth wear were included. Patients without a request for help received a non-restorative treatment of counseling and monitoring. Patients with a request for restorative treatment were treated with a full rehabilitation using composite resin restorations. Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-NL) and Orofacial Esthetic Scale (OES-NL) questionnaires were filled in at baseline and after 1 year. Results Counseling and monitoring group: baseline OHIP-NL score was 0.4 ± 0.3, baseline summary score of OES-NL was 48 ± 7.0, and baseline impression score was 7.1 ± 1.2. Scores had not changed significantly after 1 year (p = 1.00 after Bonferroni correction).Restoration group: baseline OHIP-NL score was 0.8 ± 0.6, baseline summary score of OES-NL was 38 ± 10, and baseline impression score was 5.9 ± 1.5. Scores had improved significantly after 1 year (p < 0.001 after Bonferroni correction). Conclusions Counseling and monitoring did not result in a significant deterioration and restorative treatment resulted in a significant improvement of oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) and orofacial appearance in this patient group. Clinical significance In patients with moderate to severe tooth wear, without functional and esthetical problems, counseling and monitoring may be an appropriate treatment option. Restorative treatment in patients with a need for treatment results in an improved OHRQoL. OHIP and OES questionnaires may be used to monitor changes in clinically relevant symptoms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the association between tooth wear and quality of life among adults in the United Kingdom, independently of sociodemographic factors and other common oral conditions. METHODS We used data from 5654 dentate adults who participated in the 2009 Adult Dental Health Survey. Tooth wear was assessed during clinical examination and classified as none, mild, moderate and severe based on the worst affected tooth recorded. The numbers of teeth with mild, moderate and severe tooth wear were used as alternative measures. Oral impacts on quality of life were measured using the short form of the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). The associations between tooth wear measures and OHIP-14 total and domain scores were tested in negative binomial regression models adjusting for sociodemographic and clinical factors. RESULTS Overall, 62% of participants had mild, 13% moderate and 2% severe tooth wear. Adults with severe tooth wear had a crude OHIP-14 total score higher than those without tooth wear (Rate Ratio: 1.90; 95% Confidence Interval: 1.32-2.75). This association was attenuated after adjustment for confounders, particularly for other oral conditions (1.25; 95% CI: 0.90-1.73). Moreover, adults with severe tooth wear reported higher OHIP-14 domain scores in psychological discomfort (1.15; 95% CI: 1.06-1.25) and psychological disability (1.18; 95% CI: 1.10-1.30) than those without such condition. There was also evidence of a dose-response relationship; with higher OHIP-14 domain scores according to the number of teeth with severe tooth wear. CONCLUSION This nationwide study among UK adults shows that severe tooth wear was negatively associated with psychological impacts on people's life. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Dentist should consider not only the patients' clinical characteristics, but also their impacts on quality of life and provide preventive or restorative management accordingly.

Abstract
Tooth wear is increasing in severity and prevalence, partly because of an ageing population and partly because of modern lifestyles. Management of the worn dentition with 'full mouth rehabilitation' is outmoded. This clinical paper aims to review the literature on composite restorations and give general dental practitioners the confidence to restore the worn dentition with dental composite. Composite is a versatile and widely available material that can be successfully applied within the existing occlusal vertical dimension (OVD) or at an increased OVD using a Dahl approach. Cases illustrate what is achievable, and clinical tips will help dentists optimise their results.

Abstract
Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition, leading to the loss of dental hard tissues. Many grading scales are available to assess the amount of tooth wear, one of which is the tooth wear evaluation system (TWES). A grading scale can be used chairside, on casts and on photographs. The aim was to test whether the grading scales of the TWES, used on casts and on photographs, resulted in comparable scores. In addition, it was tested whether these scales can be used to assess tooth wear reliably on photographs. Of 75 tooth wear patients, sets of casts and series of photographs were obtained and graded. Comparison of the grading on casts and on photographs revealed equal median values and percentiles for both occlusal/incisal grading and non-occlusal/non-incisal grading. The grading on casts and on photographs showed a high correlation for the occlusal/incisal grading and a low correlation for the non-occlusal/non-incisal grading (Spearman's rho = 0·74 and rho = 0·47; P < 0·001). Concerning the grading on photographs, the interexaminer reliability was fair-to-good (ICC = 0·41 to ICC = 0·55) while the intra-examiner reliability was fair-to-good to excellent (ICC = 0·68 to ICC = 0·86) for the occlusal/incisal grading. For the non-occlusal/non-incisal grading, the interexaminer reliability was poor to fair-to-good (ICC = 0·22 to ICC = 0·59), while the intra-examiner reliability was fair-to-good to excellent (ICC = 0·64 to ICC = 0·82). It was concluded that the scores obtained with the grading scales of the TWES on casts and on photographs are comparable. The grading scales can be used in a reliable way on photographs, which is especially the case for occlusal/incisal grading.

Abstract
The use of composite restorations for patients with tooth wear is considered as a more conservative treatment option. The aim of this study was to systematically review the literature investigating the survival rates of anterior composite restorations when used in managing tooth wear in patients. PubMed and MEDLINE (Ovid) databases were screened for studies from 1995 to 2015. Cross-referencing was used to further identify articles. Article selection and data extraction were performed in duplication. Languages were restricted to English. A quality appraisal of included studies was carried out using the Strength of Recommendation Taxonomy system. Six hundred and sixty-six articles were initially identified from which eight articles were full-text reviewed. Six articles involving five studies were selected for inclusion. Three studies were prospective and two retrospective. Included studies involved placement of 772 direct and indirect anterior composite restorations in 100 patients with follow-up periods between 5 months and 10 years. The survival rates of anterior composites were >90% and 50% at 2.5 and 5 years, respectively. Posterior occlusion was re-established in 91% of patients within 18 months. Meta-analysis could not be performed due to the heterogeneity of included studies. The systematic review's overall strength of recommendation was graded B. There is evidence to support the use of anterior composite restorations at an increased vertical dimension of occlusion in the short/medium-term management of tooth wear. Long-term reporting of outcomes remains limited. Further research is needed with standardised study design, detailed reporting of outcomes and long-term review.
