Sažetak
The mechanisms of attrition, abrasion and erosion act together, each with different intensity and duration to produce a multitude of different wear patterns. The aim of this case report was to present clinical situation and rehabilitation of esthetic and functional concern caused by long- term development of combined erosion and abrasion. 58- years old patients reported to the Department of Endodontics and Restorative Dentistry because of aesthetic need, but without any pain or dentin hypersensitivity. After a detailed dental and medical history, it was determined that the patient was consuming sour fruit and cucumbers in the evening before bedtime as well as pumpkin seeds, daily for the past 30 years. Clinical examination revealed severe form of dental erosion according to Smith and Knight’s Tooth wear index (TWI) (4th degree) on all surfaces of frontal teeth. In distal region, erosion was found on occlusal and vestibular surfaces (3th degree) while oral surfaces of the upper and lower teeth were preserved (2nd degree). No history of clenching or grinding was reported by the subject, or partner. The patient’s non carious cervical lesions were restored using resin composite (Tetric EvoCeram, Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein). Central upper incisors were endodontically treated and postendodontical treatment was made with fiber posts and core material (GC Gradia Core & Fiber Post, GC Japan). An eight unit ceramic fused to metal bridge (IPS d.SIGN Ivoclar Vivadent, Liechtenstein) restoration was made for the restoration of upper teeth and another three unit bridge for the restoration of missing molars. Every day long- term oral habits such as constant citrus ingestion or different seeds chewing can lead to serious hard dental tissue loss. This can be difficult to detect, especially in the early stages and without prevention, serious multidisciplinary approach to restore such lesions is needed.
