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 ) |
