The interface between orthodontics and restorative dentistry in the management of anterior tooth surface loss.
Anterior tooth surface loss is a significant problem, ideally requiring early recognition, diagnosis and prevention of progression. However, when first noted it is often sufficiently advanced to warrant treatment. Management should be aimed at minimizing further tooth surface loss and frequently benefits from an integration of treatment procedures. The problems, aims of treatment, and relevant treatment modalities are discussed, and two illustrative cases presented.
