Definition : of non carious lesion

Non carious tooth defects are group of defects that the bacteria are not the prime cause .

Types :


Non - carious lesions present in a variety of forms .

1.Abrasion •


Attrition


Abfraction .


Erosion .


Hypersensitivity .


• Trauma .


Tooth discoloration .

Abrasion


definition:



loss of tooth structure caused by mechanical action rther than mastication .

Abrasion: case

1 ) Incorrect use of tooth brush .


2 ) Use of an abrasive dentifrice .


3 ) Para functional habits .

Abrasio: clinical features

1 ) loss of enamel and dentin to produce a V - shaped notch at the neck of the tooth .


2 ) Hypersensitivity ,


3 ) Mild pain .


4 ) Sever pain when the pulp gets irreversibly involved .

Abrasion management

Elimination of the causative factors .


1.If its shallow no need to be restored .


2.If its deep ( more than 0.5 mm ) → restoration is performed ( GI or composite )

Attrition Definition :

Loss of tooth structure through wear against the opposing dentition during normal function .

Attrition Causes

: Mainaly affects the incisal edges of the anterior teeth .


1 ) Bruxism .


2 ) Abrasives diet .


3 ) Constant chewing- tobacco .


4 ) Loss of posterior teeth .

Attrition Clinical features :


Symptoms :


Clinical signs:

Symptoms :


1.Tooth grinding at night


2.Jaw pain , fatigue and limited opening on waking


3.Teeth feel loose ( localised or generalised )


4.Sore teeth or sore gums


5.Headaches in the temporal region 6.Grinding or clenching of the teeth while awake .



Clinical signs :


1.Flattened enamel edges and occlusal surfaces


2.Tooth fractures - natural teeth or restorations


3.Tooth mobility


4.Pulp necrosis - as loads cause limitation of blood supply


5.Traumatic ulcers


6.TMJ problem

Attrition


Treatment

1 ) Shallow lesion can be restored with tooth colored restoration .



2 ) Pulpally involved teeth undergo endodontic therapy .



3 ) Para - functional activity can be controlled with protecting occlusal splints or managed with habit breaking appliance . b

Erosion Definition :

Loss of tooth structure by non bacteriogenic acid etching .

Erosion : Causes :

Extrinsic factor :


highly acidic diet.


2 ) Low PH carbonated drinks .


3 ) Strong citrus fruits


Intrinsic factors


. 1 ) Gastric reflux.


. 2 ) Vomiting ( bulimia nervosa )


. 3 ) Idiopathic factors .

Erosion : Clinical features :

1 ) A wide shallow lesion effecting the labial and palatal surfaces of the upper teeth .



2 ) Multiple cupped out depressions corresponding to the cusp tips .



3 ) Loss of lingual enamel and dentin due to acid .

Erosion :


Management

1 ) Stopping / reduc of acidic , carbonated beverages .


2 ) Treating the underlying medical disorder .


3 ) Fluoride application .

Abfraction : Definition

Is a loss of tooth enamel and dentin caused by biomechanical loading forces .

Abfraction : Causes :

Occlusal forces that cause tooth to bend , resulting in microfracture of enamel at the cervical region .

Abfraction : Clinical features :

1 ) Common in patients with poor tooth alignment .


2 ) Usually wedge"v" shaped lesion with sharp angles found in the cervical region .

Managements : Abfraction :

1.Desensitising agents and gentle tooth brushing instructions ,



2.In sever cases : occlusal adjustment , placing restoration to reduce sensitivity ,

Dentin hypersensitivity :

Dentin hypersensitivity


is a transient tooth pain characterized by a Short , sharp pain arising from exposed dentin in response to stimuli , typically thermal , tactile , osmotic or chemical ) .

Theory of dentin hypersensitivity :

hydrodynamic theory .

Dentin hypersensitivity


Etiology :



Dentin exposed by losing of ( Enamel )


Dentin exposed by gingival recession

Classifications of desensitizing agents According to mode of action :

1 ) Nerve desensitizing ( potassium nitrate ) 2 ) Protein precipitation . ( Gluteraldehyde ) 3 ) Plugging dentinal tubules . ( Sodium fluoride )


4 ) Dentin adhesive sealers . ( varnish / Gl / composite )

The causes of fracture line :

1 ) Physical trauma .


2 ) Occlusal prematurities .


3 ) Heavy and stressful chewing .


3 ) Resorption weakened teeth .

There are two main groups of cracked teeth :

Vertical root fracture ( mainly occur in endodontically treated teeth )



Tooth infarction ( incomplete tooth fracture )


Craze lines .


cuspal fractures


cracked teeth .

Difficult to differentiate masticatory pain / pain from infarction / pain from microleakage

Patient bite on a moist cotton roll


( if rebound pain occurs on release , it is very likely that one of the two teeth , maxillary or mandibular has an infarction .



micro leakage لو عض وطلع عنده وجع معناها

Etiology : of cracked teeth


1 ) Excessively large and incorrectly designed restoration . •


2 ) Pins .


3 ) Chewing action .


4 ) Bite onto hard objects .


5 ) Bruxism and clenching .


6 ) Acute trauma to the teeth ..

Craze line :

affect only the enamel , originate in the occlusal surface , are typically from occlusal forces and are asymptomatic .

Fractured cusp :

occur on the cusps and cervical margins of the root and can have acute pain on mastication and cold .

Cracked tooth :

occurs on the crown and may extend into the root .

Split tooth :

a fracture through the crown and root , ( separating the tooth into two segments )
