1
Regressive and Traumatic Alterations of Teeth Unit 4
2
Regressive Alteration Attrition Abrasion Erosion
3
Attrition Physiologic wearing away Incisal, occlusal and interproximal surfaces Part of aging process Bruxism – pathologic attrition
5
Attrition – Radiologic Features Change in normal outline Flat occlusal plane Loss of mamelon Pulp chamber, canal size Hypercementosis
6
Attrition
9
Abrasion Non-physiologic wearing away Habits Toothbrush trauma Dental floss injury Occupational hazards
10
Abrasion – Radiologic Features Radiolucent defects at the cervical region Well-defined semilunar defects Pulp chambers sclerosed In case of dental floss injury, distal surfaces more involved
11
You will write cases today Describe –Type of film(s) –Location / number of lesions (problem) –Size –Shape –Border –Content –Effects on neighboring structures
12
Case 1 for write-up
13
March 2000May 2003
14
Erosion Chemical cause No bacteria involved Diet Regurgitation Occupational hazards
15
Erosion - Radiologic Features Radiolucent defects Dietary acids – labial surface Regurgitation – mandibular lingual surface Occupational – all surfaces
18
Resorption Phenomenon External Internal
19
External Resorption Periapical pathology Trauma Mechanical forces Tumors and cysts Impacted teeth Osteosclerosis Idiopathic

Ext. Resorption: Periapical Path

Ext. Resorption: Trauma
22
Case for Brett Moore

Ext. Resorption: Orthodontic
25
Ext. Resorption: Tumors/cysts

30
Ext. Resorption: Impacted Tooth
32
Ext. Resorption: Osteosclerosis
33
Ext. Resorption: Idiopathic
35
Case for Ruth Atterberg
36
Internal Resorption Trauma Idiopathic
37
Int. Resorption: Idiopathic

Internal Resorption: Trauma
40
Traumatic Injury to Teeth Concussion Luxation Avulsion
41
Concussion No displacement or loosening Crushing injury to adjoining areas Early radiographic changes may be minimal Widened PDL spaces: few days to weeks Long term effects: pulpal sclerosis, necrosis, periapical lesions
42
Luxation Dislocation of teeth: intrusion, extrusion, lateral, lingual or buccal Early radiographic observation: widened PDL spaces Long term effect: pulpal sclerosis, necrosis, periapical lesion
43
Avulsion Loss of tooth Socket outline Fracture of alveolar bone Possibility of reimplantation
44
Fracture of Teeth Coronal fracture –Cusp –Pulp Root fracture –Horizontal –Vertical (Details of fracture in Unit 11)
