3D Model of Abfraction
Abfraction refers to the loss of tooth structure near the gumline, caused by biomechanical forces such as flexion from chewing or clenching. These forces create small fractures in the enamel and dentin, leading to wedge-shaped lesions. Abfraction is often associated with other forms of tooth wear, such as abrasion or erosion. Treatment typically involves reinforcing the tooth structure to prevent further damage. Learn more about this condition in our 3D model.
