Until my last appointment with my dentist's office, I knew what was abfraction.Abfraction a notch in the tooth structure which is located near the gum line, or even below the gum line. This will usually be on the side near the cheek as opposed to foreign language.

I also learned that they can cause serious problems if not taken care of in a timely manner.

abfractions all the causes are not known, but there are three theories about what they uzrokuje.Prvi that the effect of improper teeth due to wrong bite (teeth do not lining properly) can cause abfraction.

When the bite is off, even just a little, one tooth may hit sooner than others. This will cause undue stress on the teeth involved, and they start to curl. By having this stretching and contracting continuously, over time it causes the enamel to separate from the inner layer of dentine of the tooth, which forms a notch in the gum.

Some think that use abrasive toothpaste too eats the enamel and cause probleme.Abrazivnih ingredients in toothpaste, along with improper brushing (especially too aggressively) gouges out a V-shaped indentation in the tooth enamel.
