Tooth Abrasion (Abrasion, Dental)

The pathologic wearing away of the tooth substance by brushing, bruxism, clenching, and other mechanical causes. It is differentiated from TOOTH ATTRITION in that this type of wearing away is the result of tooth-to-tooth contact, as in mastication, occurring only on the occlusal, incisal, and proximal surfaces. It differs also from TOOTH EROSION, the progressive loss of the hard substance of a tooth by chemical processes not involving bacterial action. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p2)

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Tooth Abrasion:

1.	PerliteIBA 01/01/2013 - "Fine platy perlite particles are effective in tooth cleaning with low tooth abrasion. " 01/01/2013 - "This study was intended to optimize perlite particle size and morphology for better tooth cleaning and lower tooth abrasion, and to evaluate the performance of a whitening toothpaste containing the optimized perlite abrasive for tooth cleaning, abrasion, and polishing. " 01/01/2013 - "Compared to high-cleaning silica whitening toothpaste, the whitening toothpaste containing the optimized perlite abrasive (PerlClean) is slightly better at tooth cleaning, lower in tooth abrasion, and significantly better at tooth polishing. "
2.	Dentifrices (Dentifrice)IBA 04/01/2004 - "It was concluded that if the dental industry replaces abrasive by vegetable oil in dentifrices, these will be more effective in maintaining oral health and will cause less dental abrasion."
3.	ToothpastesIBA 02/01/1972 - "[Effect of toothpaste on tooth abrasion]." 01/01/2014 - "Experimental studies have demonstrated that tooth abrasion can be influenced by a number of factors, including not only the physical properties of the toothpaste and toothbrush used but also patient-related factors such as toothbrushing frequency and force of brushing. " 01/01/2013 - "This study was intended to optimize perlite particle size and morphology for better tooth cleaning and lower tooth abrasion, and to evaluate the performance of a whitening toothpaste containing the optimized perlite abrasive for tooth cleaning, abrasion, and polishing. " 01/01/2013 - "Compared to high-cleaning silica whitening toothpaste, the whitening toothpaste containing the optimized perlite abrasive (PerlClean) is slightly better at tooth cleaning, lower in tooth abrasion, and significantly better at tooth polishing. "
4.	Bisphenol A-Glycidyl Methacrylate (Delton)IBA 11/01/2001 - "The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of a filled sealant with a drying agent (UltraSeal XT plus), a filled sealant (Prismashield) and an unfilled sealant (Delton), after conventional, bur, and air-abrasion tooth preparation techniques. "
5.	ultraseal XTIBA 11/01/2001 - "The aim of this study was to compare the microleakage of a filled sealant with a drying agent (UltraSeal XT plus), a filled sealant (Prismashield) and an unfilled sealant (Delton), after conventional, bur, and air-abrasion tooth preparation techniques. "

Therapies and Procedures

1.	Toothbrushing 03/01/1987 - "[Tooth abrasion caused by use of toothbrushing machine for a period of 60 years]." 02/01/1979 - "An epidemiologic approach to toothbrushing and dental abrasion." 01/15/1969 - "[Tooth abrasion and toothbrushing among patients in a public dental health clinic]." 12/02/1996 - "The purpose of this study was to determine the relationships of lead content in the human tooth with the prevalence of caries, dental plaque, pH of saliva, levels of Salivalis lactobacilli (SL) and Mutans streptococci (MS), degree of dental abrasion, tooth colour and toothbrushing frequency. " 09/01/1980 - "--Overly vigorous toothbrushing or using the wrong type of brush for the technique often leads to cervical tooth abrasion, gingival irritation, and gingival recession, or all of these problems. "
2.	Oral Hygiene (Dental Hygiene) 01/01/2012 - "Stated in the present study, avertable and self-inflicted is tooth abrasion, recurrently resulted by the reprehensible brushing method and common use of indigenous material for the maintenance of oral hygiene. " 01/01/2012 - "To attain alliance between the oral hygiene practices with prevalence of tooth abrasion among urban and rural adult population of Central India. "
3.	Dental Models 10/01/1998 - "The study material consisted of 80 natural teeth and 129 dental models obtained from Australian Aborigines known to display considerable dental abrasion due to their diet, and dental models of 37 Caucasians diagnosed with dental erosion through detailed history and dietary analysis.
