Abstract
Tooth surface loss (TSL) can be defined as ‘surface loss of dental hard tissues by causes other than caries, trauma or developmental defects: a multifactorial condition’. The Adult Dental Health Survey 1998 found that two thirds of adults had some anterior wear into dentine: 11% had moderate wear with extensive dentine involvement and 1% had severe wear.
