Entry term(s) abrasión dental
abrasión dentaria
Scope note: Desgaste patológico de la sustancia dentaria por cepillado, bruxismo, movimientos de apretar fuertemente, y otras causas mecánicas. Se diferencia de la ATRICIÓN DE LOS DIENTES en que este tipo de desgaste es el resultado del contacto diente con diente, como en la masticación, y ocurre solamente en las superficies oclusales, incisales y proximales. Difiere también de la EROSIÓN DE LOS DIENTES, que es la pérdida progresiva de la sustancia dura de los dientes por procesos químicos donde no participa la acción bacteriana.

Scope note: The pathologic wearing away of the tooth substance by brushing, bruxism, clenching, and other mechanical causes. It is differentiated from TOOTH ATTRITION in that this type of wearing away is the result of tooth-to-tooth contact, as in mastication, occurring only on the occlusal, incisal, and proximal surfaces. It differs also from TOOTH EROSION, the progressive loss of the hard substance of a tooth by chemical processes not involving bacterial action. (From Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p2)
