Tooth wear is becoming an increasing problem as people are living longer and keeping their teeth for longer, with recent UK surveys showing that at least 75% of adults and more than 50% of children now have some form of identifiable tooth wear. This latest edition, targeted at all dental professionals including dental students, addresses this growing challenge by describing clinical techniques for identification of the aetiological factors responsible for erosion, attrition and abrasion and by offering guidance in the planning and delivery of patient care. Readers will find helpful information on difficulties encountered in the diagnosis and prevention of tooth wear, problems associated with controlling the process and strategies for providing management solutions. Each of the 32 authors is actively involved in clinical research or management of patients presenting with worn teeth. The result is a significantly expanded text that is accessible to the entire dental team and covers the problematic presentation and multifactorial aetiology of tooth wear.
