One of the major challenges a dentist encounters on a regular basis is the treatment of ‘Extensive Anterior Tooth Wear’. Dentin has been shown to be ‘softer’ than enamel and therefore will wear at a faster rate. These patients are prone to premature loss of tooth structure and require restorative treatment to protect their teeth for many years to come.
