Abstract

Wear due to bruxism is not restricted to those surfaces of the tooth that are loaded by occlusion and articulation. Due to tooth flexure wedge-shaped lesions, so-called abfractions, may develop. In the treatment of wear caused by bruxism, direct composite restorations may play an important role. Composite resin can be used to cover exposed dentin and to restore the incisor and canine guidance. In combination with a nightguard, such a treatment may prevent further wear.
