Conversely, in recent years, dentists seem to agree that the terms attrition, abrasion and erosion define different mechanisms; however, there seems to be subtle variations on how these mechanisms are understood.
Criteria for the erosive disease were the presence of one or more bone erosions, defined as loss of cortical definition of the joint and recorded in proximal interphalangeal joints, metacarpophalangeal joints, carpal joints, wrist joints and metatarsophalangeal joints.
The presence of bone erosions, defined as the loss of cortical definition in the joint, was recorded in proximal interphalangeal joints, metacarpophalangeal joints, carpus, wrist joints and metatarsophalangeal joints.
Bone erosions defined by US are defined as breaks in the hyperechoic bone profile detectable in two perpendicular planes.
The presence of bone erosions defined as the loss of cortical definition of the proximal interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, carpal, interphalangeal, and metatarsophalangeal joints was documented: a single erosion was defined as erosive disease.
The presence of bone erosions, defined as the loss of cortical definition at the joint, was recorded in proximal interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, carpal, and metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints of forefeet.
The presence of bone erosions, defined as the loss of cortical definition at the joint, was recorded in proximal interphalangeal joints, metacarpophalangeal joints, carpus joints, wrist joints, and metatarsophalangeal joints.
The distinction between erosions and ulcers depends on pathological and endoscopic definitions, with ulcers defined as lesions that penetrate to the level of the submucosa (involving endoscopically evident depth) and erosions defined as lesions confined to the mucosa (without endoscopically appreciable depth).
12 Surface erosion is defined as the wearing away of food surface by an impinging gastric fluid containing other food solids that cause normal impact, friction, and shear forces acting on the food surface.
Surface erosion is defined as the wearing away of food surface by an impinging gastric fluid containing food solids that causes normal impact, friction, and shear forces acting on the food surface; 4 it is the dominant mechanism when the applied stress is less than the critical stress.
