Use of dentifrices to prevent erosive tooth wear: harmful or helpful?
Brazilian Oral Research, 2014 Dental erosion is the loss of dental hard tissues caused by non-bacterial acids. Due to acid contact, the tooth surface becomes softened and more prone to abrasion from toothbrushing.

Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology, 2021 Background: Adequate plaque control facilitates good gingival and periodontal health, prevents tooth decay, and preserves oral health. Toothbrushing is the primary method of removing plaque and can be classified into powered and manual toothbrushes. Aim:

Influence of chemical degradation and abrasion on surface properties of nanorestorative materials
Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences, 2015 Aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the synergistic effect of chemical degradation (erosion) and three-body abrasion (mechanical degradation) on the surface roughness (Ra) and hardness (KHN) of two nanorestorative materials and two ...

Tooth surface loss: A review of literature
Saudi Dental Journal, 2020 Objectives: Tooth surface loss (TSL) or tooth wear (TW) is an irreversible loss of hard tooth structure caused by factors other than those responsible for dental caries. TSL is observed clinically as attrition, abrasion, abfraction, and erosion.
