N2 - Due to the relatively slow pace and lack of symptoms with which tooth wear develops, patients will often not be aware of the presence of a wearing dentition and often present for treatment at an advanced stage. Thus, it is often challenging for the general dental practitioner to convey the diagnoses, whilst concomitantly emphasising the importance of disease management, as well as the consequences of no care. This article, and the associated session at the 2016 British Dental Conference &Exhibition, review the clinical management of pathological tooth wear in general dental practice.
