For some lesions, this difference appears to be related to an aetiopathological mechanism defined as abfraction, which combines the aetiological events of erosion and abrasion with the application of irregular occlusal loads along the occlusal surfaces of dental crowns. This study was conducted by ...
Abrasion and erosion alone cannot explain all the types of NCCLs, and for some lesions, they seem to be related to the aetiopathological mechanism of abfraction. Abfraction combines the aetiological events that occur in erosion or abrasion with the irregular and continued occlusal loads over time ...
