Overview:
What ARE those grooves some patients develop on the cervical aspects of some of their teeth? Are they caused by tooth brushing? Occlusal forces and habits? Acid erosion? Or is it all of the above?
In this course, Dr. John Maggio provides scientific evidence of what we currently know about this phenomenon. After discussing the etiologies, protocols are developed to find and manage the causes for individual patients. Many cases are presented, to directly apply this information to the daily practice of dentistry.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
• understand the clinical importance of these lesions
• see the multifactorial cause of these lesions
• know how to counsel patients on brushing, diet and habits
• be able to evaluate possible occlusal involvement in lesion formation
• recognize which brushing habits tend to lead to loss of tooth structure
• appreciate the role of acid in this process
