| Summary: | Tooth wear or non-carious tooth surface loss is commonly seen in daily dental practices. This is particularly eminent with the increase of dental care awareness in an aging population who retain more of their dentition into their golden years. With the paradigm shift to adhesive dentistry, composite resin build up has shown to be one of the most predictable and minimally invasive procedure in restoring the function and aesthetic of patient's dentition.
