3D Model of Dental Erosion (Occlusal/Lingual Surface)
Dental Erosion (Occlusal/Lingual Surface) occurs when acidic substances wear down the enamel on the biting (occlusal) or tongue-facing (lingual) surfaces of the teeth. Common causes include gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and frequent consumption of acidic foods and drinks. Over time, the erosion can reduce the vertical dimension of the teeth, leading to functional and aesthetic issues. Treatment typically involves restoring the lost tooth structure with fillings or crowns. Learn about the impact of this condition with our 3D model.
