“…Ultimately, given that tooth wear progression may be effectively prevented, the need for early diagnosis and risk assessment cannot be overemphasised; however, based on the available evidence, there is clear scope for improvement with this. 33 In the absence of demand for treatment, commencing restorative intervention should be delayed, with the implementation of appropriate counselling and monitoring, using appropriate tools. However, exceptions may apply to this approach, where there may be substantial levels of tooth tissue loss for age which may have an impact on the patient's oral health and quality of life, where the use of additive minimally invasive techniques may offer a conservative, time-and cost-effective approach.…”

Patients with more severe forms of tooth wear may require restorative rehabilitation. The decision to commence treatment must be taken carefully and there are a multitude of factors to consider. Alongside the clinical signs and symptoms typically associated with tooth wear, there is also the need to assess the impact of the condition on the patient's oral health-related quality of life. As part of the discussions relating to the attainment of informed consent for the restoration of the worn dentition, not only is it relevant to appropriately appraise the risks, benefits, costs, reasonable alternatives and likely prognosis of the proposed treatments, but to also elaborate on the expected impact of the intervention on the patient's oral health-related quality of life. The aim of this article is to review the evidence relating to the impact of the quality of life with the management of tooth wear, with the introduction of the concept of an evidence-based approach to decision-making when planning care.

“…Nevertheless, the existing evidence suggests that there is significant room for enhancement in this regard. 14,15 Moreover, the data were collected using self-reported questionnaires, which may be subject to recall bias. Future studies could employ larger, more diverse samples and utilize objective measurements to strengthen the study's outcomes.…”

Background: Occlusal wear, the gradual loss of tooth structure during mastication, is a significant concern in dental health. This observational study aimed to investigate the association between dietary habits, oral hygiene practices, and occlusal wear patterns and severity among middle-aged adults. Methods: A diverse cohort of 50 participants aged 30 to 70 years was included in the study. Data on gender, dietary patterns (vegetarian/non-vegetarian and hard/soft diet), brushing duration, and occlusal wear assessment were collected through structured questionnaires and intra-oral examinations using the Smith and Knight Tooth wear index [1984]. Chi-square tests were applied for statistical analysis.
