Tooth wears in general term means loss of tooth structure. Tooth loss increases with age and thus causes difficulty in chewing and increased sensitivity. Wear facets on the occlusal surface are subjected to high occlusal stresses leading to repeated dislodgment of the restoration. This article presents the use of bonded amalgam as a restorative material for restoring localized occlusal wear facets.
Keywords: Attrition; bonded amalgam; tooth wear; wear facets.
