Composite restorations of worn teeth

The restoration of worn teeth is clinically challenging and is usually done only for persons who have severe levels of wear affecting more than 1 tooth. The wear is the result of a number of processes involving attrition, erosion, and abrasion and is complicated by bruxism. Composites may be a good choice for these restorations but they are not without their limitations and weaknesses. The outcome of restorations placed in patients with tooth wear in a hospital setting by specialist trainees was investigated.
