Tooth wear is a multifactorial process that leads to the loss of tooth structure and can result in complex treatments. There are now new scientific developments and classification systems on tooth wear as well as significantly improved treatment techniques and materials, which are presented in this book by experienced clinicians. The book begins with a general section on terminology, diagnostics, treatment management, and restorative therapy. The second part of the book is dedicated to the individual treatment plan for the treatment of both local and generalized tooth wear. The numerous illustrative case presentations include a brief overview of the medical history, diagnostics, and treatment procedure as well as a critical examination of alternative treatment options and a list of materials.With its wide variety of well-documented treatment methods, this book aims to inspire readers and show them new ways of treating tooth wear.
