  2. What is an Abfraction Lesion? An abfraction lesion is a loss of tooth structure at the gumline. Abfraction lesions are caused by repeated stress on teeth from activities such as chewing and grinding. Treatment for abfraction lesions involves restoring the lost tooth structure and protecting the remaining tooth structure from further damage.

  3. Causes of Abfraction Lesions There are many causes of abfraction lesions, but the most common cause is tooth grinding. Grinding your teeth can put a lot of pressure on the enamel and dentin, which can lead to wear and tear over time.

  4. How are Abfraction Lesions Diagnosed? Abfraction lesions are usually diagnosed by your dentist during a routine checkup. However, if you have symptoms of an abfraction lesion, such as tooth pain or sensitivity to hot and cold, your dentist may take X-rays to rule out other causes of these symptoms.
