Abstract
OBJECTIVE Purpose of this research was to examine the onset, progression and wear rates of dental erosion in an established mouse model. MATERIAL AND METHODS Dental erosion in mice was experimentally induced, and the acidic effects of cola drink on their teeth after 2, 4 and 6-weeks were closely analysed by scanning electron microscopy. The tooth height and enamel or dentin loss were established. Results: The dental erosion on the molars showed clear progression from 2 to 6 weeks. By the 2-week mark, a significant portion of enamel was already eroded, revealing the dentin on the lingual cusps. When adjusted for attritional wear, molars exposed to cola for 2 weeks showed a 35% drop in lingual tooth height compared to controls (533 μm vs. 818 μm). At 4 and 6 weeks, the cola-exposed group continued to display decreased lingual tooth heights by 40% (476 μm vs. 799 μm) and 43% (440 μm vs. 767 μm), respectively. CONCLUSION This study revealed significant acidic effects of cola drink on mouse molars as early as 2 weeks. These findings highlight the challenge of monitoring dental erosion clinically and underscore the importance of early preventive and intervention measures.

Abstract
PURPOSE Physiological and erosive wear reported in clinical studies were reviewed, and in vitro aging models were developed to simulate and compare the effect of aging on human teeth with the review data obtained from clinical studies. METHODS A review of clinical studies and randomized clinical trials that quantify enamel wear was performed in the PubMed database. The first in vitro analysis evaluated the effect of mechanical chewing simulation only. Enamel specimens were aged in the chewing simulator (up to 1.2 million cycles) with two occlusal loads (30 and 50 N). In the second in vitro analysis, specimens were aged in two aging models. The first model (MT) simulated mechanical and thermal oral challenges: MT1- 240,000 chewing and 10,000 thermal cycles, MT2- 480,000 chewing and 20,000 thermal cycles, MT3- 1.2 million chewing and 50,000 thermal cycles. The second model (MTA) simulated mechanical, thermal, and acidic oral challenges as follows: MTA1- 240,000 chewing, 10,000 thermal and 3-h acidic cycles; MTA2: 480,000 chewing, 20,000 thermal and 6-h acidic cycles, MTA3- 1.2 million chewing, 50,000 thermal and 15-h acidic cycles. RESULTS The review included 13 clinical studies evaluating tooth wear (eight physiological and five erosive). The results estimated the annual average physiological wear as 38.4 µm (9.37-51). In comparison, the MT1 showed wear of 60 (24) µm. Also, the average annual erosive wear in the literature was 179.5 µm (70-265) compared to MTA1-induced wear of 209 (14) µm. CONCLUSION There was wide variation in tooth wear reported in clinical studies, suggesting a critical need for more accurate studies, possibly based on scanning technologies. Despite this, the data reported using the novel aging models are within a range to be considered consistent with and to simulate tooth wear measured in vivo.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the wear resistance of three additively manufactured dental crown materials (NextDent C&B MFH, Saremco print CROWNTEC and Bego VarseoSmile Crown) under two environmental conditions (dry and artificial saliva), two loads (49 N and 70 N) and two surface treatments (polished and glazed). METHODS A total of 120 specimens were divided into 24 groups and tested for wear under two loads (49 N and 70 N), surface treatment (polished or glazed), and environment (dry or submerged in artificial saliva). All samples underwent reciprocating wear testing at 1 Hz using a wear simulator, replicating 48 months of In Vivo conditions with a stainless-steel ball as the antagonist. The coefficient of friction (CoF), surface roughness, volumetric and vertical wear loss were measured and statistically analysed. Confocal microscopy assessed the surface properties of crown materials and the antagonists. RESULTS The NextDent material demonstrated the most homogenous wear, with relatively low vertical and volumetric loss across all groups (p < 0.004). NextDent and Bego materials performed similarly in artificial saliva regardless of the load type (p > 1.000). The CoF remained below 0.3 for all groups. All groups exhibited significant increases in surface roughness after testing, however, this did not correlate with an increase in the CoF. Confocal analysis revealed material deformities due to load and notable scratch marks on the stainless-steel antagonists. CONCLUSION It was found that all investigated addtively manufactured materials can be suggested for provisional use. Both vertical loss and volumetric loss results should be included for material evaluation. CoF and surface roughness should be implemented into wear evaluation. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study highlights the practical value of additively manufactured dental crown materials, particularly for provisional restorations. However, their extended use requires careful consideration of individual patient needs, emphasising the need for judicious clinical application evaluation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study presents a scoping review to determine the association between tooth wear and bruxism. DATA A protocol was developed a priori (Open Science Framework (DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/CS7JX)). Established scoping review methods were used for screening, data extraction, and synthesis. Risk of bias was assessed using JBI tools. Direct associations between tooth wear and bruxism were assessed. SOURCES Embase, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Cochrane, and PubMed were searched. STUDY SELECTION Any clinical study containing tooth wear and bruxism assessment done on humans in any language was included. Animal, in-vitro studies and case reports were excluded. CONCLUSIONS Thirty publications reporting on the association between tooth wear and bruxism were included. The majority of publications were cross-sectional studies (90%) while only three were longitudinal (10%). Eleven papers assessed definitive bruxism for analysis (instrumental tools), one paper assessed probable bruxism (clinical inspection with self-report) and eighteen assessed possible bruxism (self-report). Of the eleven papers assessing definitive bruxism, eight also reported outcomes of non-instrumental tools. Tooth wear was mostly scored using indexes. Most studies reported no or weak associations between tooth wear and bruxism, except for the studies done on cervical tooth wear. When bruxism assessment was done through self-report, more often an association was found. Studies using multivariate analyses did not find an association between tooth wear and bruxism, except the cervical wear studies. Evidence shows inconclusive results as to whether bruxism and tooth wear are related or not. Therefore, well-designed longitudinal trials are needed to address this gap in the literature. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Based on the evidence, dental clinicians should not infer bruxism activity solely on the presence of tooth wear.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this paper was to quantify the analysis error introduced by iterative closest point (ICP) image registration. We also investigated whether a subsequent subtraction process can reduce process error. METHODS We tested metrology and two 3D inspection software using calibration standards at 0.39 μm, and 2.64 μm and mathematically perfect defects (softgauges) at 2 and 20 μm, on free form surfaces of increasing complexity and area, both with and without registration. Errors were calculated in percentage relative to the size of the defect being measured. Data were analysed in GraphPad Prism 9, normal and two-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey's was applied. Significance was inferred at p < 0.05. RESULTS Using ICP registration introduced errors from 0 % to 15.63 % of the defect size depending on the surface complexity and size of the defect. Significant differences were observed in analysis measurements between metrology and 3D inspection software and within different 3D inspection software, however, one did not show clear superiority over another. Even in the absence of registration, defects at 0.39 μm, and 2.64 μm produced substantial measurement error (13.39-77.50 % of defect size) when using 3D inspection software. Adding an additional data subtraction process reduced registration error to negligible levels (<1 % independent of surface complexity or area). CONCLUSIONS Commercial 3D inspection software introduces error during direct measurements below 3 μm. When using an ICP registration, errors over 15 % of the defect size can be introduced regardless of the accuracy of adjacent registration surfaces. Analysis output between software are not consistently repeatable or comparable and do not utilise ISO standards. Subtracting the datasets and analysing the residual difference reduced error to negligible levels. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This paper quantifies the significant errors and inconsistencies introduced during the registration process even when 3D datasets are true and precise. This may impact on research diagnostics and clinical performance. An additional data processing step of scan subtraction can reduce this error but increases computational complexity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the variability of tooth wear progression at the surface-, tooth- and patient-level over a period of three years three years using in vivo 3D-measurements of full dentitions amongst patients with moderate to severe tooth wear and without demand for restorative rehabilitation. METHODS Fifty-five eligible patients with moderate to severe tooth wear had intra-oral scans taken using either the 3 M True Definition Intraoral Scanner or the 3 M Lava Chairside Oral Scanner. The maximum height loss (µm) per cusp/incisal/palatal surface at unrestored surfaces was measured using the 3D Wear Analysis (3DWA)-protocol with Geomagic Qualify, resulting in sixty-four measurements per dentition. Data was visualized using box plots. Correlation was calculated between tooth wear progression rates of different tooth types and surfaces. RESULTS Thirty patients with scans at intake and after three years were included (38 ± 8 years, 77% M, 23% F). Mean observation time was 3.1 ± 0.2 years. Surface measurements (N = 1,615) showed a high deviation and a high number of outliers at all surfaces, indicating large variability amongst the surfaces, tooth types and patients with tooth wear progression rates. Correlations between regions were very low: anterior-molar region -0.219, anterior-premolar region 0.116 and premolar-molar region 0.113. Correlations between the surfaces of molars were also low (between 0.190 and 0.565). CONCLUSIONS In a group of patients with moderate to severe tooth wear, large differences in wear progression were found within and amongst patients. Tooth wear progression is therefore highly individualized and can be very localized. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE This study confirms the necessity of individual management of patients with moderate to severe tooth wear. Effective monitoring of tooth wear is important when deciding the timing and need for restorative intervention. CLINICAL TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT04790110.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Evidence on the reliability of digital techniques for wear volume assessment using three-dimensional (3D) scan datasets is scarce. This study evaluated the reliability of a repeated-scan superimposition technique and two single-scan techniques in assessing wear volume loss on flat surfaces of 3D-printed resin specimens. METHODS Cuboid-shaped (15×10×10 mm) resin specimens were 3D-printed (n = 14) and scanned before and after 200,000 cycles of masticatory simulation. For the repeated-scan superimposition technique, digital 3D models of specimens before and after masticatory simulation were superimposed, and the volume loss was determined. The first single-scan technique utilized a computer-aided design freeware program, while the second one employed a 3D-metrology software program. In the freeware program, the worn area of 3D objects was edited directly to obtain a flat surface. In the 3D-metrology software program, the worn area was deleted first and then filled to the flat surface. The volume differences before and after editing were calculated in each software program. Agreement between the three measurement techniques was determined through intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). One-way analysis of variance was performed to compare the wear volume loss assessed by the three techniques (α = 0.05). RESULTS High inter-technique reliability was observed between the three assessment techniques (ICC = 0.998, p < .001). On pair-wise comparisons of two of the three techniques, all pairs showed high consistency (ICC ≥ 0.999, p < .001). No significant difference was found in the wear volume loss assessed using the three techniques (p = .996). CONCLUSIONS Digital repeated-scan superimposition and two single-scan techniques demonstrated high reliability in assessing wear volume loss on flat surfaces. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The repeated-scan superimposition technique can be effectively utilized to assess wear volume loss of anatomically shaped specimens and flat surfaces. This study indicates that the single-scan techniques may serve as a suitable alternative to the repeated-scan superimposition technique when evaluating wear volume loss of flat surfaces.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Tooth wear (TW) prevalence is high and increasing and has important consequences on the patient's quality of life. Knowledge of risk factors is crucial to promote diagnosis, prevention strategies and timely interceptive treatment. Many studies have identified TW risk factors. OBJECTIVE This scoping review aims to map and describe suspected available factors associated with TW in permanent dentition based on quantitative measurement. METHODS The scoping review was conducted using the PRISMA extension of the Scoping Reviews checklist. The search was conducted in October 2022 from the Medline® (PubMed® interface) and Scopus® databases. Two independent reviewers selected and characterised the studies. RESULTS 2702 articles were identified for assessment of titles and abstracts, and 273 articles were included in the review. The results show a need to standardise TW measurement indices and the study design. The included studies highlighted various factors, classified into nine domains: sociodemographic factors, medical history, drinking habits, eating habits, oral hygiene habits, dental factors, bruxism and temporomandibular disorders, behavioural factors, and stress. Results related to chemical TW (erosion) risk factors underline the importance of eating disorders, gastroesophageal reflux and lifestyle, particularly drinking and eating behaviours, which supports developing public health information campaigns and interventions. Besides chemical, this review identifies evidence of several mechanical TW risk factors, such as toothbrushing and bruxism; the influence of this last factor needs to be further explored. CONCLUSIONS TW management and prevention require a multidisciplinary approach. Dentists are in the first line to detect associated diseases such as reflux or eating disorders. Consequently, practitioners' information and guideline diffusion should be promoted, and a TW risk factors checklist (the ToWeR checklist) is proposed to help diagnostic approaches.

Abstract
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM Whether polyvinyl siloxane impressions are capable of reproducing 5-μm changes on natural freeform enamel and potentially enabling clinical measurements of early surface changes consistent with wear of teeth or materials is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this in vitro study was to investigate and compare polyvinyl siloxane replicas with direct measurements of sub-5-μm lesions on unpolished human enamel lesions by using profilometry, superimposition, and a surface subtraction software program. MATERIAL AND METHODS Twenty ethically approved unpolished human enamel specimens were randomized to a previously reported cyclic erosion (n=10) and erosion and abrasion (n=10) model to create discrete sub-5-μm lesions on the surface. Low viscosity polyvinyl siloxane impressions were made of each specimen before and after each cycle and scanned by using noncontacting laser profilometry and viewed with a digital microscopy and compared with direct scanning of the enamel surface. The digital maps were then interrogated with surface- registration and subtraction workflows to extrapolate enamel loss from the unpolished surfaces by using step-height and digital surface microscopy to measure roughness. RESULTS Direct measurement revealed chemical loss of enamel at 3.4 ±0.43 μm, and the polyvinyl siloxane replicas were 3.20 ±0.42 μm, respectively. For chemical and mechanical loss direct measurement was 6.12 ±1.05 μm and 5.79 ±1.06 μm for the polyvinyl siloxane replica (P=.211). The overall accuracy between direct and polyvinyl siloxane replica measurements was 0.13 +0.57 and -0.31 μm for erosion and 0.12 +0.99 and -0.75 μm for erosion and abrasion. Surface roughness and visualization with digital microscopy provided confirmatory data. CONCLUSIONS Polyvinyl siloxane replica impressions from unpolished human enamel were accurate and precise at the sub-5-μm level.

Abstract
Although we are increasingly recognising the need to assess patients for accelerated rates of tooth wear progression, it is often difficult to do so within a feasible diagnostic window. This paper aims to provide evidence-based timelines which a diagnosing clinician can expect to assess tooth wear progression in study models, clinical indices, clinical photographs and visually with intraoral scans. It also discusses new technologies emerging for the quantitative assessment of tooth wear, timelines for diagnosis, and caveats in the 3D scan registration and analysis 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.

Abstract
In this article, on the example of a clinical case, the technique of restoring two central teeth in a patient with increased enamel erasability with highly filled fluid composite materials using injection techniques is described. The application of this technique has become possible because the new fluid composites have similar mechanical, physical and aesthetic properties to universal composite materials.

Abstract
Purpose To assess the influence of defect size and tooth anatomy on the measurements performed by a 3D patient monitoring tool. Methods A fully dentate model was scanned to obtain a master digital file. Virtual duplicates received defects created in molars (16, 18, 28) and incisors (11, 12, 22), according to different depths (60, 80, 120 microns) and sizes (small, medium, large) totaling 180 conditions. The surface changes measured by the 3D Patient Monitoring Tool (3Shape TRIOS Patient Monitoring [TPM]) were compared with the reference by 2 calibrated operators. False Positives (FP), and False Negatives (FN) defect were registered. Pearson chi-square test, Multivariate binary logistic regression and Spearman rank correlation were used to evaluate the data (α = 0.05). Results A significant association was found between the area and the presence of FP and FN (P < .01). Larger defects had higher chances to present FP or an FN respectively. There was a significant association between the tooth and the presence of a FP value (FP, P = .02; FN, P = .005) specially in molars. No significant association was found between the defect depth and the presence of a FP value. Spearman rank correlation showed a strong association between the presence of an FP and an FN (r = 0.858, P < .01). Conclusions The defect size and tooth anatomy significantly affected the virtual follow-up, whereas defect depth did not. Small defects were correctly detected in all cases. An incorrect measurement on one side of the tooth simultaneously resulted in incorrect measurement on the opposite side. Clinical relevance The clinician should be aware that different factors related to the characteristics of the defects could affect the quality of the full-arch digital follow-up. Therefore, caution is needed when interpreting the models comparison in cases that a larger area of a tooth has been modified.

Wear behavior of a microhybrid composite vs. a nanocomposite in the treatment of severe tooth wear patients: A 5-year clinical study. Dent Mater 2021; 37:1819-1827. [PMID: 34565582 DOI: 10.1016/j.dental.2021.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/13/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to compare the wear behavior of a microhybrid composite vs. a nanocomposite in patients suffering from severe tooth wear. METHODS A convenience sample of 16 severe tooth wear patients from the Radboud Tooth Wear Project was included. Eight of them were treated with a microhybrid composite (Clearfil APX, Kuraray) and the other eight with a nanocomposite (Filtek Supreme XTE, 3M). The Direct Shaping by Occlusion (DSO) technique was used for all patients. Clinical records were collected after 1 month (baseline) as well as 1, 3 and 5 years post-treatment. The maximum height loss at specific areas per tooth was measured with Geomagic Qualify software. Intra-observer reliability was tested with paired t-tests, while multilevel logistic regression analyses were used to compare odds ratios (OR) of "large amount of wear". RESULTS Intra-observer reliability tests confirmed that two repeated measurements agreed well (p > 0.136). For anterior mandibular teeth, Filtek Supreme showed significantly less wear than Clearfil APX; in maxillary anterior teeth, Clearfil APX showed significantly less wear (OR material = 0.28, OR jaw position = 0.079, p < 0.001). For premolar and molar teeth, Filtek Supreme showed less wear in bearing cusps, whereas Clearfil APX showed less wear in non-bearing cusps (premolar: OR material = 0.42, OR bearing condition = 0.18, p = 0.001; molar: OR material = 0.50, OR bearing condition = 0.14, p < 0.001). SIGNIFICANCE Nanocomposite restorations showed significantly less wear at bearing cusps, whereas microhybrid composite restorations showed less wear at non-bearing cusps and anterior maxillary teeth.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this Best Evidence Consensus Statement was to evaluate the impact of wear on teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS A search updated last on the 07th October 2020 using the terms tooth wear, dental erosion, dental abrasion or dental attrition yielded 11,694 results. Limiting the search to clinical trials, cross-sectional investigations, randomized controlled trials, reviews, systematic reviews and meta-analysis yielded 1,769 results. Mechanistic in vitro studies were also added to the list of abstracts supplying additional information of the impact of wear on teeth. All abstracts were reviewed by two authors. Those relating to the focus question formed the evidence base which was used to formulate the response. RESULTS From the search results, 212 articles were related to the research question and 60 were included in this paper. Although tooth wear prevalence is over 30% of the population in early adulthood and increases as individual's age, the impact on the dentition is poorly investigated in longitudinal clinical studies. Wear on teeth can result in alterations in shape and potentially dentine hypersensitivity depending on the etiology. However, the process is slow and pulpal death is rare. The impact that tooth wear has on the patient depends on patient characteristics to a greater extent than the severity of wear. CONCLUSIONS Tooth wear is a common condition and part of the ageing process. Erosive tooth wear is a term which acknowledges that acids are normally linked to progression, but mechanical actions of attrition and abrasion will cause visible damage. The changes to the shape of teeth on the macro and micro levels are used to investigate the progression, prevention, etiology, and management. The biological impact of wear on teeth is relatively innocuous and management is often a patient driven process. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the wear resistance of polymers for injection molding, subtractive and additive manufacturing of occlusal devices in comparison with enamel antagonist wear and material properties (i.e., hardness, flexural strength, and flexural modulus). METHODS Injection molding was compared with milling and the additive technologies stereolithography, low force stereolithography, and digital light processing. For each material, eight specimens were produced for wear measurements. Extracted human premolars served as indenters. All samples were subjected to two series of a 2-body wear test consisting of 200,000 circular loading cycles with an applied load of 1) 20 N and 2) 50 N in a thermocycling environment (5/55 °C, 30 s, 3860 cycles, H2O). Wear resistance was characterized by means of maximum depth and volume of the resulting traces. In addition, enamel wear of the indenters and Vickers hardness, flexural strength, and flexural modulus of the polymers were determined. Wear was statistically analyzed with linear general models for repeated measures and material properties with one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey-HSD tests. RESULTS Wear of the antagonists was not influenced by the material (P ≥ 0.343). Likewise, no differences in wear resistance were found between materials after cyclic loading with 20 N or 50 N (P ≥ 0.074). Material properties investigated revealed decreased values for the resins for the additive manufacturing with the exception of flexural strength of one material. SIGNIFICANCE Within the limitations of this in-vitro study, arylates for conventional, subtractive, and additive manufacturing of occlusal devices differ in material properties but not in wear resistance and antagonist wear.

Influence of Scanner Precision and Analysis Software in Quantifying Three-Dimensional Intraoral Changes: Two-Factor Factorial Experimental Design. J Med Internet Res 2020; 22:e17150. [PMID: 33245280 PMCID: PMC7732705 DOI: 10.2196/17150] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/27/2019] [Revised: 06/22/2020] [Accepted: 07/27/2020] [Indexed: 11/13/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Three-dimensional scans are increasingly used to quantify biological topographical changes and clinical health outcomes. Traditionally, the use of 3D scans has been limited to specialized centers owing to the high cost of the scanning equipment and the necessity for complex analysis software. Technological advances have made cheaper, more accessible methods of data capture and analysis available in the field of dentistry, potentially facilitating a primary care system to quantify disease progression. However, this system has yet to be compared with previous high-precision methods in university hospital settings. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare a dental primary care method of data capture (intraoral scanner) with a precision hospital-based method (laser profilometer) in addition to comparing open source and commercial software available for data analysis. METHODS Longitudinal dental wear data from 30 patients were analyzed using a two-factor factorial experimental design. Bimaxillary intraoral digital scans (TrueDefinition, 3M, UK) and conventional silicone impressions, poured in type-4 dental stone, were made at both baseline and follow-up appointments (mean 36 months, SD 10.9). Stone models were scanned using precision laser profilometry (Taicaan, Southampton, UK). Three-dimensional changes in both forms of digital scans of the first molars (n=76) were quantitatively analyzed using the engineering software Geomagic Control (3D Systems, Germany) and freeware WearCompare (Leeds Digital Dentistry, UK). Volume change (mm3) was the primary measurement outcome. The maximum point loss (μm) and the average profile loss (μm) were also recorded. Data were paired and skewed, and were therefore compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests with Bonferroni correction. RESULTS The median (IQR) volume change for Geomagic using profilometry and using the intraoral scan was -0.37 mm3 (-3.75-2.30) and +0.51 mm3 (-2.17-4.26), respectively (P<.001). Using WearCompare, the median (IQR) volume change for profilometry and intraoral scanning was -1.21 mm3 (-3.48-0.56) and -0.39 mm3 (-3.96-2.76), respectively (P=.04). WearCompare detected significantly greater volume loss than Geomagic regardless of scanner type. No differences were observed between groups with respect to the maximum point loss or average profile loss. CONCLUSIONS As expected, the method of data capture, software used, and measurement metric all significantly influenced the measurement outcome. However, when appropriate analysis was used, the primary care system was able to quantify the degree of change and can be recommended depending on the accuracy needed to diagnose a condition. Lower-resolution scanners may underestimate complex changes when measuring at the micron level.

Abstract
Aim To evaluate currently available methods for assessing and monitoring tooth wear in a general dental practice environment.Method A questionnaire was developed and used to obtain data. Models were used to test the dentists' assessment of tooth wear. Ethical permission was obtained.Results Twenty general dental practitioners were interviewed and 100% were aware of the use of study models, 50% about the use of photographs and 45% of the BEWE. Methods used to assess and monitor tooth wear were study models (75%), photographs (65%), BEWE (10%), Smith & Knight index (0%) and no method (15%). Sixty-five percent of dentists were unaware of any guidelines on monitoring tooth wear. In comparing serial photographs, no participant correctly identified all the wear changes and 25% thought a change had occurred when one hadn't. Statistical analysis showed a sensitivity of only 73% with a specificity of 75%. In comparing serial study models (same cases as used in the photographs), 55% of participants identified a change when no change occurred and 50-60% of participants were able to correctly identify if wear had or had not occurred. Participants graded the models according to BEWE. Statistical analysis of these results shows a sensitivity of just 69% with a specificity of only 55%. The inter-operator agreement (Fliess' Kappa) showed an even lower degree of agreement was found with only 0.12, which suggests only a slight level of agreement, less than that with photographs.Conclusion Dentists do not seem to be aware of the current guidelines but do make reasonable attempts to monitor tooth wear. None of the currently available methods are ideal and even the use of serial study models is open to much inter-operator variability.

Abstract
Objectives To present a digital approach to measure and compare material wear behavior of antagonistic first molar restorations made of an experimental CAD/CAM composite (COMP) and lithium disilicate ceramic (LS2) in patients with reconstructed vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) after generalized hard tissue loss. Methods A total of 12 patients underwent complete full jaw rehabilitation with full occlusal coverage restorations made either of COMP or LS2. The first molar restorations (n = 48) were chosen for wear examination. At annual recall appointments, polyether impressions were taken, and resulting plaster casts were digitalized using a laboratory scanner. Mean observation period was 371 days for first and 769 days for second year. The resulting 96 datasets were analyzed by superimposition of 3-D datasets using an iterative best-fit method. Based on the superimposition data, the wear rates of the occlusal contact areas (OCAs) were calculated. Results For antagonistic restorations made of COMP, the average wear rate was 24.8 ± 13.3 μm/month, while for LS2, it was 9.5 ± 4.3 μm/month in first year, with significant differences (p < 0.0001) between the materials. In second year, monthly wear rates decreased significantly for both materials: COMP (16.2 ± 10.7 μm/month) and LS2 (5.5 ± 3.3 μm/month). Statistical comparison between wear time showed significant differences for both materials: COMP p < 0.037 and LS2 p < 0.001. A logarithmic fit (COMP R2 = 0.081; LS2 R2 = 0.038) of the data was calculated to estimate the wear progression. Significance In patients with reconstructed VDO, restorations made of LS2 show a more stable wear behavior than ones out of experimental CAD/CAM composite. In cases of complete rehabilitation, load bearing CAD/CAM-composite restorations should be critically considered for application due to their occlusal wear behavior. However, when choosing a restorative material, not only the functional occlusal stability should be taken into account but also the prospect of minimally invasive treatment with maximum preservation of natural tooth structures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Recent software advancements have facilitated quantification of erosive tooth wear progression using intraoral scans. This paper investigated if wear on commonly affected surfaces (central incisors and first molars) was representative of wear on the full arch. METHODS Bimaxillary digital intraoral scans (True Definition, 3 M, USA) of patients (n = 30) from the monitoring arm of the Radboud Tooth Wear Project, were taken at baseline and at 3 years (+/-10months). The occlusal/incisal surface of each tooth (excluding 3rd molars) was analysed for volume change and volume change per mm of analysed surface area in WearCompare (www.leedsdigitaldentistry.com/Wearcompare) following previously published protocols. Data were normal, descriptives and multi-level linear regression analysis was performed in Stata v15.1 taking patient level and surface type data into account. RESULTS Data from 556 surfaces in 29 patients were included in analysis. Per patient, mean volume loss (95 % CI) was -0.91mm3(-1.28,-0.53) on all surfaces, -1.85mm3(-2.83,-0.86) on index surfaces, -2.53mm3(-3.91,-1.15) on molar surfaces and -0.83 mm3(-1.34,-0.31) on upper central incisal surfaces. Statistical differences were observed between analysing all surfaces and index teeth(p = 0.002) in addition to molar surfaces(p < 0.0001). Mean volume loss per mm2 of surface analysed was -0.024 mm3 (-0.031,-0.017), -0.028mm3 (-0.041,-0.014), -0.030mm3 (-0.046,-0.013) and -0.025mm3 (-0.041,-0.010) for all surfaces, index surfaces, first molar surfaces and central incisor surfaces respectively with no statistical differences between groups. CONCLUSIONS Wear on upper central incisors was not statistically different to full arch wear analysis. If the surface area is standardised, wear on both index surfaces are statistically similar to wear on the full arch. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE These results suggest that analysing rates of wear on index teeth can be a resource-saving substitute for analysing rates of wear on the entire dentition, provided the surface area is standardised. If whole surfaces are analysed, the molar surfaces will show greater rates of wear.

Clin Cosmet Investig Dent 2020; 12:101-109. [PMID: 32280280 PMCID: PMC7132029 DOI: 10.2147/ccide.s234716] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/15/2019] [Accepted: 02/04/2020] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of erosive/abrasive cycles and two different levels of abrasiveness of dentifrices over enamel and dentin subjected to bleaching. Methods Enamel and dentin bovine specimens were prepared and submitted to an at-home bleaching treatment using 9.5% hydrogen peroxide gel, which was applied daily (30 min/14 days). Concomitant with bleaching, an erosive cycle was performed using citric acid (0.3%, pH 3.8, 5 mins, 3×/day), followed by immersions in artificial saliva for remineralization (30 mins). Abrasion was done with two (high and low abrasiveness) dentifrices (2×/day, 120 seconds) after the first and third erosive immersion each day. Enamel and dentin softening were assessed by microhardness and erosive tooth wear by optical profilometry. Data were submitted to repeated measures ANOVA, followed by the Tukey’s test with a significance level of 5%. Results For the enamel and considering the erosive-abrasive cycle, significant differences were found between the groups tested, the bleaching, and the abrasiveness of the dentifrice tested; however, the final microhardness values were significantly lower than the initial ones. For dentin, differences were found between the eroded/abrasion and the non-eroded/abrasion groups, with the former presenting lower microhardness values compared with the latter. In addition, bleaching decreased the microhardness values only for the highly abrasive dentifrice, and the final values were lower than for the initial ones for all tested groups. Conclusion The use of high and low abrasiveness dentifrices during bleaching and concomitant with erosion/abrasion cycles is more harmful to dentin than to enamel. Clinical Relevance Although bleaching is considered a conservative treatment, it can cause deleterious effects to dental hard tissue. The association of an at-home bleaching technique with erosion and high- or low- abrasive dentifrices harms dentin more than enamel.

Wear in Antagonist Teeth Produced by Monolithic Zirconia Crowns: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. J Clin Med 2020; 9:E997. [PMID: 32252404 PMCID: PMC7231268 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9040997] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/05/2020] [Revised: 03/29/2020] [Accepted: 03/30/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the wear sustained in the natural antagonist tooth in cases of full-coverage fixed-base prosthetic restorations or monolithic zirconia tooth-supported crowns, as well as to determine the wear in the restoration itself, both in the short- and medium-term and considering the factors that may influence wear. MATERIAL AND METHODS A systematic literature review and meta-analysis, based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) recommendations, of clinical studies that evaluated wear in antagonist teeth in relation to fixed-prosthesis monolithic zirconia crowns. A total of 5 databases were consulted in the literature search: Pubmed-Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, Embase and Web of Science (WOS). After eliminating duplicated articles and applying the inclusion criteria, eight articles were selected for the qualitative analysis and four for the quantitative analysis. RESULTS Mean maximum wear of the antagonist tooth in relation to monolithic zirconia crowns of magnitude 95.45 µm (CI at 95% 79.57-111.33) was observed. By using a meta-regression model (R2 = 0.92) the significant effect of time in maximum wear rate (p < 0.001) was observed, estimated at 6.13 µm per month (CI at 95% 3.99-8.27). Furthermore, monolithic zirconia crowns are subject to a mean maximum wear of 58.47 µm (CI 95% 45.44-71.50). By using a meta-regression model (R2 = 0.53) the significant effect of time in the maximum wear value was observed (p = 0.053), estimated at 3.40 µm per month (CI al 95% -0.05-6.85). CONCLUSIONS Monolithic zirconia crowns lead to a progressive maximum wear of the antagonist tooth over time which is greater than the maximum wear sustained in the crown itself. It is not possible to establish an objective and quantitative objection in relation to natural enamel wear or metal-ceramic crowns.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate if quantitative analysis of intraoral scans of study models can identify erosive tooth wear progression. METHODS Data were collected from a retrospective longitudinal study, using pre-and post-orthodontic treatment casts of 11-13 year olds, recorded at two consecutive appointments 29 months apart. Casts were digitised with intra-oral scanner TRIOS™ (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark) and first molar scan pairs used for analysis. Occlusal surfaces of each molar pair were visually assessed using the BEWE index as having no BEWE progression (n = 42) or BEWE progression (n = 54). Scan pairs were aligned and analysed for volume loss, maximum profile loss and mean profile loss in WearCompare (Leedsdigitaldentistry.com/wearcompare) using previously published protocols. Data were analysed in SPSS and not normal. Mann-Whitney U test with a Bonferroni correction assessed differences between progression groups. Receiver-operating-characteristic (ROC) curves were used to identify the sensitivity and specificity of quantified wear progression rates at determining visual wear progression. RESULTS Surfaces with visible progression demonstrated a median volume loss of -2.19 mm3 (IQR-3.65, -0.91) compared to a median volume loss of -0.37 mm3 (IQR -1.02, 0.16) in the no visible progression group (p < 0.001). Mean profile loss was -75.2 μm (IQR-93.9, -61.0) and 63.2 μm (IQR -82.5, -49.7) for the progression and no-progression groups respectively (p = 0.018). Volume loss of -1.22mm3 represented a 79 % sensitivity and 61 % specificity. The estimated area under the curve for volume loss was 0.80 (95 %CI 0.71-0.89, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS This is the first study to propose rates of high wear progression in adolescents. Limited sensitivity and specificity confirms that quantitative analysis is an adjunct tool to be used alongside history taking and clinical judgement. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The rapid advancement of digital technologies may result in improved diagnosis in erosive tooth wear (ETW). Intra-oral scans and registration software are a promising adjunct for monitoring ETW progression in clinical practice.

Investigation into the validity of WearCompare, a purpose-built software to quantify erosive tooth wear progression. Dent Mater 2019; 35:1408-1414.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The use of surface matching software with intraoral scanners is developing rapidly which increases the need for accessible, accurate and validated measurement software. This investigation compared the current gold-standard Geomagic Control software to a purpose-built software "WearCompare". METHODS Artificially created occlusal defects of a known size were created on 10 natural molar teeth scanned with a structured-light model-scanner (Rexcan DS2, Europac 3D, Crewe). The volume change, maximum profilometric loss and mean profilometric loss were obtained from both Geomagic Control (3D Systems, Darmstadt, Germany) and WearCompare (leedsdigitaldentistry.com). Duplicated datasets were randomly repositioned and re-alignment performed. The effect of the re-alignment was calculated by analysing differences between the known defect size and defect size after re-alignment using the same measurement metrics. Lastly, clinical wear measurements were compared on natural molar surfaces (n=60) over 6 months using study models collected from a previous longitudinal trial. Data analysis was performed in SPSS v25 (paired t-tests, Pearson correlations, p<0.05). RESULTS Measurement correlation between the softwares was greater than 0.97 (p<0.001) for all measurement metrics. The volume change error (SD) after alignment was -0.67mm3(1.14) for Geomagic and -0.06mm3(0.93) for WearCompare (p=0.140 and r=0.065, p=0.86). Measurement errors were observed after alignment in both softwares and no statistical differences were observed between softwares. The volume change on the clinical dataset over 6 months was +0.29 mm3(3.97) in Geomagic and -0.30mm3(1.82) for WearCompare (p=0.19 and r=0.61, p<0.001). The mean profile gain was 42.86μm(40.19) for Geomagic and 32.17μm(23.72) for WearCompare (p=0.048). Correlations between the softwares were greater than 0.6 for all measurement metrics except for mean profile gain. SIGNIFICANCE WearCompare is a comparable tool to Geomagic for quantifying erosive tooth wear. WearCompare reported statistically less profile gain indicating less error but further research is needed to reduce the human errors in both softwares.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate the sensitivity of intraoral scanners to quantitatively detect early erosive tooth wear. METHODS Natural buccal enamel samples were mounted in acrylic and scanned at baseline with an intraoral scanner (3 M True Definition Scanner, 3 M, USA). Samples were then exposed to 0.3% citric acid pH 3.2 at intervals of 10 min up to a total of 120 min and scanned after each exposure resulting in analysis of 13 datapoints per sample. Each scan was aligned with the baseline and data points super-imposed using an iterative closest point (ICP) algorithm on the acrylic surfaces (Geomagic Control Software, 3Dsystems, Darmstadt, Germany). Wear was measured using maximum profile loss, average profile loss and volume change. Data were normally distributed and Pearson correlations between erosion time and wear measurements assessed. RESULTS After each 10-minute exposure until 120 min, maximum profile loss (μm) increased from 33.4 to 72.8 μm, average profile loss from 9.1 to 18.6 μm. Wear correlated with increasing acid exposure for both maximum profile loss wear (r = 0.877 p < 0.001) and average profile loss (r = 0.663 p = 0.019) respectively. Volume measurements were inconsistent at this level of wear. CONCLUSIONS Using scan data obtained from the intra oral scanners (IOS), increasing step height changes were observed with increasing exposures to acid. This study indicates there is potential of scans taken with an IOS to be used to detect early erosive tooth wear. However, precision was low suggesting limitations for minimal changes. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Although sub-visual wear was detected by intra-oral scanners on natural enamel surfaces, the accuracy was not sufficient to reliably diagnose that wear had occurred and interpretation of measurements should be done with caution. However, these results may be promising for detecting wear at more advanced stages.

Abstract
There is a perceived gap between dietary advice given by health practitioners and adherence to the advice by patients. We investigated whether a behaviour change technique (implementation-planning) was more effective than standard-of-care diet advice at reducing dietary acid intake using quantitative erosive tooth wear progression as an objective clinical outcome. This study was a randomised controlled, double-blind, single-centre clinical trial in the UK. Participants (n = 60) with high dietary acid intake (≥2 daily), were recruited and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive either implementation-planning or standard-of-care diet advice in a single clinical session. Questionnaires and impressions were taken at baseline and 6 months later. Dental casts were scanned using laser profilometry and superimposed using surface-matching software. Data were analysed per protocol and intention-to-treat using independent t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests. The intervention group reduced their dietary acid intake between meals to 1 intake per day compared to 2 intakes per day for the controls and demonstrated reduced dental hard tissue volume loss (-0.00 mm3 (SD = 0.01)) compared to controls (-0.07 mm3 (SD 0.17)), p = 0.049. This paper supports the use of implementation planning in clinical practice and presents a non-invasive method of intervention assessment in behaviour change. Larger trials are needed to confirm the generalisability of results.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aims to systematically review the different methods used for wear measurement of dental tissues and materials in clinical studies, their relevance and reliability in terms of accuracy and precision, and the performance of the different steps of the workflow taken independently. METHODS An exhaustive search of clinical studies related to wear of dental tissues and materials reporting a quantitative measurement method was conducted. MedLine, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library and Web of Science databases were used. Prospective studies, pilot studies and case series (>10 patients), as long as they contained a description of wear measurement methodology. Only studies published after 1995 were considered. RESULTS After duplicates' removal, 495 studies were identified, and 41 remained for quantitative analysis. Thirty-four described wear-measurement protocols, using digital profilometry and superimposition, whereas 7 used alternative protocols. A specific form was designed to analyze the risk of bias. The methods were described in terms of material analyzed; study design; device used for surface acquisition; matching software details and settings; type of analysis (vertical height-loss measurement vs volume loss measurement); type of area investigated (entire occlusal area or selective areas); and results. SINIFICANCE There is a need of standardization of clinical wear measurement. Current methods exhibit accuracy, which is not sufficient to monitor wear of restorative materials and tooth tissues. Their performance could be improved, notably limiting the use of replicas, using standardized calibration procedures and positive controls, optimizing the settings of scanners and matching softwares, and taking into account unusable data.

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
This paper explains a conservative, pragmatic and minimally invasive intervention concept for the treatment of severe tooth wear patients based on the Radboud Tooth Wear Project in the Netherlands. Guidelines and flowcharts for management of severe tooth wear patients and rehabilitation in increased vertical dimension of occlusion are presented. We concluded that: (a) Restorative treatment is not always indicated, even for patients with severe tooth wear. (b) If the patient has no complaints, counselling and monitoring is probably the best option. (c) Minimally invasive and adhesive restorative strategies are preferred when severe tooth wear patients are to be treated in increased vertical dimension, especially when young patients are involved. (d) Clinical evidence for a suitable restorative treatment protocol is limited to five-year follow up for direct composites. This material seems to be suitable for rehabilitation in increased vertical dimension on the middle long term. Clinical results for indirect techniques are not available yet. (e) Restorations, including those that are considered 'definitive' may prove to have a limited lifetime in patients with severe tooth wear due to bruxism and erosion. Explanation of the possible treatment options and expected complications should be included in the informed consent.

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
Background Approximately 60% of patients presenting to dentists with erosive tooth wear have significant gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), despite minor reflux symptoms. No longitudinal studies of reflux-associated erosive tooth wear and of reflux characteristics have been reported to date. The aim of this study was to characterize the longitudinal course of GERD and of associated erosive tooth wear, as well as factors predictive of its progression, in a large group of patients. Methods Seventy-two patients presenting to dentists with clinically significant erosive tooth wear and increased esophageal acid exposure by 24-h multichannel intraluminal pH-impedance measurement (MII-pH) were re-assessed clinically and by MII-pH after 1 year treatment with esomeprazole 20 mg twice-daily. Predictive factors for erosive tooth wear were assessed by logistic regression. Results At follow-up, no further progression in erosive tooth wear was observed in 53 (74%) of patients. The percentage of time with a pH < 4, the number of acid reflux episodes and the percentage of proximal esophageal reflux off-PPI did not change significantly after one year, but the number of weakly acidic reflux episodes decreased significantly in the large subgroup without progression. None of the baseline demographic, clinical, endoscopic or esophageal acid exposure characteristics were significantly associated with progression of erosive tooth wear at follow-up. Conclusions In this longitudinal study in patients with erosive tooth wear and oligosymptomatic GERD receiving esomeprazole for one year, erosive tooth wear did not progress further in the majority of patients. Background acidic esophageal reflux exposure appeared stable over time, whereas weakly acidic exposure decreased significantly in patients without erosion progression. MII-pH measurements on-PPI and with healthy controls will be useful in the further elucidation of the causal role of reflux in erosive tooth wear. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov, retrospectively registered: NCT02087345.

Abstract
Objectives To determine if Sa roughness data from measuring one central location of unpolished and polished enamel were representative of the overall surfaces before and after erosion. Methods Twenty human enamel sections (4x4 mm) were embedded in bis-acryl composite and randomised to either a native or polishing enamel preparation protocol. Enamel samples were subjected to an acid challenge (15 minutes 100 mL orange juice, pH 3.2, titratable acidity 41.3mmol OH/L, 62.5 rpm agitation, repeated for three cycles). Median (IQR) surface roughness [Sa] was measured at baseline and after erosion from both a centralised cluster and four peripheral clusters. Within each cluster, five smaller areas (0.04 mm2) provided the Sa roughness data. Results For both unpolished and polished enamel samples there were no significant differences between measuring one central cluster or four peripheral clusters, before and after erosion. For unpolished enamel the single central cluster had a median (IQR) Sa roughness of 1.45 (2.58) μm and the four peripheral clusters had a median (IQR) of 1.32 (4.86) μm before erosion; after erosion there were statistically significant reductions to 0.38 (0.35) μm and 0.34 (0.49) μm respectively (p<0.0001). Polished enamel had a median (IQR) Sa roughness 0.04 (0.17) μm for the single central cluster and 0.05 (0.15) μm for the four peripheral clusters which statistically significantly increased after erosion to 0.27 (0.08) μm for both (p<0.0001). Conclusion Measuring one central cluster of unpolished and polished enamel was representative of the overall enamel surface roughness, before and after erosion.

Abstract
Tooth wear is a multifactorial condition and the term is used to describe all types of non-carious tooth substance loss: abrasion (produced by interaction between the teeth and other substances), attrition (produced during tooth-to-tooth contact), erosion (produced by a chemical process) and abfraction (produced through abnormal occlusal loading that predisposes tooth substance to mechanical and chemical wear). Dental technology has an important role in preventing, managing and monitoring tooth wear in a variety of ways. Hard poly(methyl methacrylate) or soft ethylene-vinyl acetate splints can be prescribed to alleviate bruxism, the most common cause of attrition. Thermoformed appliances can be used for the application of products that reduce dental erosion such as fluoride gel. Patients with significant tooth surface loss may require laboratory-made restorations, as well as removable appliances with bite planes that generate inter-occlusal space to facilitate restorations, or surgical templates to provide guidance in preparing restorations for those requiring surgical crown lengthening. Dental study models and digitised models can also prove valuable in terms of monitoring the condition. This paper presents a review of the role that dental technology plays in tooth wear prevention, management and monitoring.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare differences in wear of human enamel and dentine in vitro using a 3D measurement method comparing silica versus non-silica containing fluoridated dentifrices (Colgate Total(™) [CT] or Fluor Protector Gel(™) [FPG]). METHODS Mounted native enamel (n = 36) and polished dentine (n = 36) samples were subjected to 10 wear cycles. Each cycle consisted of: (1) 1 hour remineralization in artificial saliva (AS); (2) 10 minute erosion (0.3% citric acid; pH = 2.8); (3) 2 minute toothbrush abrasion in AS (G1, control) or a slurry of 3:1 by weight of AS:dentifrice (G2 = CT; G3 = FPG) under a load of 2 N. Each group contained 12 enamel and 12 dentine samples. Paired pre- and post-wear scans made with a contacting scanner were digitally superimposed using ball bearings as datum. RESULTS Mean and (SD) enamel wear was G1 = 21.9 μm (6.4); G2 = 15.2 μm (2.8); G3 = 16.9 μm (3.2). Enamel wear was not different between dentifrices (p = 0.99). Both dentifrices resulted in less enamel wear compared to the control (p < 0.05). Dentine wear was G1 = 41.3 μm (8.1); G2 = 29.1 μm (4.4); G3 = 22.1 μm (3.5). Differences in measurements were observed between dentifrices and control (p < 0.05) and between dentifrices (p = 0.014) with FPG showing less dentine wear than CT. CONCLUSIONS FPG offered protection against erosive/abrasive tooth wear in dentine compared to CT. FPG did not offer such protective effect on enamel wear.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dental erosion is a complication of gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) according to the Montreal consensus statement. However, GORD has not been comprehensively characterized in patients with dental erosions and pH-impedance measures have not been reported. OBJECTIVES Characterize GORD in patients with dental erosions using 24-h multichannel intraluminal pH-impedance measurements (pH-MII) and endoscopy. METHODS This single-centre study investigated reflux in successive patients presenting to dentists with dental erosion using pH-MII and endoscopy. RESULTS Of the 374 patients, 298 (80%) reported GORD symptoms <2 per week, 72 (19%) had oesophagitis and 59 (16%) had a hiatal hernia. In the 349 with pH-MII the mean percentage time with a pH <4 (95% CI) was 11.0 (9.3-12.7), and 34.4% (31.9-36.9) for a pH <5.5, a critical threshold for dental tissue. The mean numbers of total, acidic and weakly acidic reflux episodes were 71 (63-79), 43 (38-49) and 31 (26-35), respectively. Of the reflux episodes, 19% (17-21) reached the proximal oesophagus. In 241 (69%) patients reflux was abnormal using published normal values for acid exposure time and reflux episodes. No significant associations between the severity of dental erosions and any reflux variables were found. The presence of GORD symptoms and of oesophagitis or a hiatal hernia was associated with greater reflux, but not with increased dental erosion scores. CONCLUSIONS Significant oligosymptomatic gastro-oesophageal reflux occurs in the majority of patients with dental erosion. The degree of dental erosion did not correlate with any of the accepted quantitative reflux indicators. Definition of clinically relevant reflux parameters by pH-MII for dental erosion and of treatment guidelines are outstanding. Gastroenterologists and dentists need to be aware of the widely prevalent association between dental erosion and atypical GORD.

Abstract
This study used conventional digital radiography to estimate the rate of tooth wear (TW) of maxillary and mandibular central incisors based on a cross-sectional study design. The crown length of 1239 permanent maxillary and mandibular central incisors from 346 persons (age groups: 10, 25, 40, 55 and 70 years ± 3) were measured by three calibrated dentists. Study teeth were intact incisally, had clearly visible incisal edges and cementoenamel junctions and had natural tooth antagonists. Measures were based on digital radiographic images (N = 666) archived in MiPACS within the electronic health record (axiUm(®)) from the College of Dentistry patient database. Incisor crown length decreased at a linear rate in both arches over the 60 years represented by the age groups. The average crown length for maxillary incisors in the youngest age group was 11.94 mm, which decreased by an average of 1.01 mm by median age 70. For mandibular incisors, the average crown length in the youngest age group was 9.58 mm, which decreased by an average of 1.46 mm in the oldest age group. Males and females showed similar rates of TW. Regardless of age, females demonstrated smaller mean crown height for maxillary incisors than males (P < 0.0001). Measures by the examiners demonstrated good agreement, with an interclass correlation coefficient of 0.869 and an average intra-examiner correlation of 99.5%, based on repeated measurements (n = 100). TW was estimated to average 1.01 mm for maxillary central incisors and 1.46 mm for mandibular central incisors by age 70 years.

Abstract
Many methods are available for the grading of tooth wear, but their ability to assess the progression of wear over time has not been studied frequently. The aim was to assess whether the occlusal/incisal grading scale of the Tooth Wear Evaluation System (TWES) was sensitive enough for the detection of tooth wear progression from 14 to 23 years of age. A total of 120 sets of dental casts were gathered from 40 people, of whom impressions were made at 14, 18 and 23 years. The TWES was used to assess loss of clinical crown height throughout the entire dentition. There was a significant difference in the TWES scores between the three age groups on all teeth (Friedman tests; P < 0.005 in all cases). Post hoc Wilcoxon tests revealed that the difference between the scores between 14 and 18 years and between 18 and 23 was significant for most teeth. It was concluded that the TWES is sensitive enough to detect changes in tooth wear over time.

Abstract
Objectives To test the applicability, accuracy, precision, and reproducibility of various 3D superimposition techniques for radiographic data, transformed to triangulated surface data. Methods Five superimposition techniques (3P: three-point registration; AC: anterior cranial base; AC + F: anterior cranial base + foramen magnum; BZ: both zygomatic arches; 1Z: one zygomatic arch) were tested using eight pairs of pre-existing CT data (pre- and post-treatment). These were obtained from non-growing orthodontic patients treated with rapid maxillary expansion. All datasets were superimposed by three operators independently, who repeated the whole procedure one month later. Accuracy was assessed by the distance (D) between superimposed datasets on three form-stable anatomical areas, located on the anterior cranial base and the foramen magnum. Precision and reproducibility were assessed using the distances between models at four specific landmarks. Non parametric multivariate models and Bland-Altman difference plots were used for analyses. Results There was no difference among operators or between time points on the accuracy of each superimposition technique (p>0.05). The AC + F technique was the most accurate (D<0.17 mm), as expected, followed by AC and BZ superimpositions that presented similar level of accuracy (D<0.5 mm). 3P and 1Z were the least accurate superimpositions (0.79<D<1.76 mm, p<0.005). Although there was no difference among operators or between time points on the precision of each superimposition technique (p>0.05), the detected structural changes differed significantly between different techniques (p<0.05). Bland-Altman difference plots showed that BZ superimposition was comparable to AC, though it presented slightly higher random error. Conclusions Superimposition of 3D datasets using surface models created from voxel data can provide accurate, precise, and reproducible results, offering also high efficiency and increased post-processing capabilities. In the present study population, the BZ superimposition was comparable to AC, with the added advantage of being applicable to scans with a smaller field of view.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study progression of tooth wear quantitatively in a convenient sample of young adults and to assess possible correlations with occlusal conditions. METHODS Twenty-eight dental students participated in a three-year follow up study on tooth wear. Visible wear facets on full arch gypsum casts were assessed using a flatbed scanner and measuring software. Regression analyses were used to assess possible associations between the registered occlusal conditions 'occlusal guidance scheme', 'vertical overbite', 'horizontal overbite', 'depth of sagittal curve', 'canine Angle class relation', 'history of orthodontic treatment', and 'self-reported grinding/clenching' (independent variables) and increase of wear facets (dependent variable). RESULTS Mean increase in facet surface areas ranged from 1.2 mm2 (premolars, incisors) to 3.4 mm2 (molars); the relative increase ranged from 15% to 23%. Backward regression analysis showed no significant relation for 'group function', 'vertical overbite', 'depth of sagittal curve', 'history of orthodontic treatment' nor 'self-reported clenching. The final multiple linear regression model showed significant associations amongst 'anterior protected articulation' and 'horizontal overbite' and increase of facet surface areas. For all teeth combined, only 'anterior protected articulation' had a significant effect. 'Self reported grinding' did not have a significant effect (p>0.07). CONCLUSIONS In this study 'anterior protected articulation' and 'horizontal overbite', were significantly associated with the progression of tooth wear. Self reported grinding was not significantly associated with progression of tooth wear. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Occlusal conditions such as anterior protected articulation and horizontal overbite seem to have an effect on the progression of occlusal tooth wear in this convenient sample of young adults.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the prevalence, distribution and severity of erosive wear in a group of 16-18-year-olds in the western part of Norway. A second aim was to describe possible associations between caries experience, socioeconomic background and origin of birth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adolescents (n = 795) attending recall examinations at Public Dental Service (PDS) clinics were also examined for dental erosive wear on index surfaces, using the Visual Erosion Dental Examination scoring system (VEDE). RESULTS In total, 795 individuals were examined. Dental erosive wear was diagnosed in 59% of the population (44% erosive wear in enamel only, 14% combination of enamel and dentine lesions, 1% erosive wear in dentine only). The palatal surfaces of upper central incisors and occlusal surfaces of first lower molars were affected the most (33% and 48% of all surfaces, respectively). Cuppings on molars were registered in 66% of the individuals with erosive wear. Erosive wear was significantly more prevalent among men (63%) than women (55%) (p = 0.018). CONCLUSIONS There were no significant associations between dental erosive wear and caries experience, socioeconomic background or origin of birth.

Abstract
AIM To review the main psychological and mental conditions that are manifested dentally in the form of tooth wear. These conditions include depression, eating disorders, and alcohol and drug use disorders. The paper will also review the comorbidity of these conditions and the relevance of other medical conditions and lifestyle factors, such as gastroesophageal reflux disorder, smoking and diet, in the expression of tooth wear. CONCLUSION A holistic, multidisciplinary, healthcare approach is required in management of tooth wear patients with underlying mental health disorders. Dentists and Dental Care Professionals can have an important role in identifying these mental disorders through the observed tooth wear. They can also play a key role in monitoring patients' response and compliance to medical treatment through the monitoring of tooth wear progression and expression.
