title: Concepts and considerations of tooth wear: Part II--The mechanical component.
abstract: Identification of etiological factors is essential for successful management of tooth wear. In many cases, the diagnosis may be complicated because of the multiple etiologic factors which may confound the clinical appearance of tooth wear. Comprehensively addressing all of these factors is paramount to the long-term success of patient management.
