The phrase "tooth abrasion" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it to refer to the wearing away of a tooth’s enamel. For example, "The dentist said that my tooth abrasion was due to brushing my teeth too vigorously."
Impacts on livestock were extreme, with starvation, acute dehydration, and tooth abrasion leading to widespread and severe livestock losses (Wilson et al. 2011; Rubin et al. 1994).
Previous studies have identified the following issues for livestock arising from ash contamination of feed: starvation due to feed becoming unpalatable; gastrointestinal and rumen blockages following ash ingestion; and tooth abrasion (Cook et al. 1981; Cronin et al. 1998; Wilson et al. 2011b).
There was no indication of volcanic contamination in the pH and F results, and the quantities of deposited ash were too small to smother foods or cause physical harm e.g. tooth abrasion, so the eruption presented no threat to livestock (Cronin et al. 1998; SEPA 2011).
Hence, the capability to continuously form secondary dentine is lost, and may lead, due to equine-typical occlusal tooth abrasion, to an opening of the pulp cavity.
Nowadays most of the dentists advise not to use it because it may lead to tooth abrasion.
The present study examined implant prostheses immediately after setting, but the occlusal contact of implant prostheses is believed to change over time as a result of factors such as extrusion of opposing teeth, abrasion from neighboring surfaces, and tooth attrition.
As individual teeth migrate into an active position, tooth-to-tooth abrasion results in a low-angle, planar wear facet (ca. 5° from the long axis of the crown) on the lingual (internal) surface of the upper teeth, which is similar to that in advanced titanosaurs (Figure 2A).
Animals were classified in age according to teeth abrasion and reproductive status into one of three categories: adult (ad) (teeth blunt, testes or nipples visible), sb (teeth sharp, testes visible, but no nipples visible in females) or juvenile (weight <150 g, no testes or nipples visible).
Dental diseases (e.g., severe teeth abrasion, carious lesions, cists/abscesses, inflammation, and tooth loss) [ 14] and many degenerative disorders (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis of the Iceman [ 15], anthropo-paleopathological in Egyptian mummies [ 16], bone and soft tissue malignant tumours and/or soft tissue adenomas [ 17], or atherosclerosis [ 18, 19]) can now be diagnosed.
Studies considering erosion, attrition (wear resulting from tooth to tooth grinding) and abrasion (wear resulting from tooth to other hard surfaces) showed higher prevalences [ 18, 22, 26, 27] compared with others (Table 1).
