ABSTRACT
The prevalence and severity of tooth wear (TW) are increasing worldwide. Yet, there is no high-level evidence to support or refute any therapeutic intervention. In the absence of such evidence, many currently prevailing management strategies for TW may be failing in their duty of care to first and foremost improve the oral health of patients with this disease. This overview promotes sound approaches to the management of TW on the basis of the current best evidence of the etiology and clinical features of this disease.
