“…Incidental wear facets are not usually a primary concern to dentists, but pathological wear from clenching and grinding (bruxing) can lead to sensitivity, loss of function and esthetics, and infection, especially once the dentin is exposed. Wear rates depend on material microstructures and bite force (Borrero-Lopez et al, 2014), among several other tribological and clinical factors (Lambrechts et al, 1989;Kelly, 1997;Lewis and Dwyer-Joyce, 2005;Kraemer et al, 2006;Heintze et al, 2008;Zhou and Zheng, 2008;d'Incau et al, 2012;Lee et al, 2012;Mitov et al, 2012;Janyavula et al, 2013;Preis et al, 2013;Stober et al, 2014;Dupriez et al, 2015;Stober et al, 2016;Matzinger et al, 2018;Santos et al, 2018). Dental materials with a ceramic component tend to be relatively hard, leading in extreme cases to accelerated antagonistic wear of opposing dentition.…”
