💡 The area near the tooth root is worn down – Cervical abrasion & resin treatment

YES! SMILE!

Hello 😊

This is Yesmir Dental Clinic in Godeok-dong, Seoul.

Today, we’d like to introduce a resin treatment case for a patient who visited us due to abrasion in the cervical area (the neck area of the tooth).

📍 Condition at the time of the visit

The patient had frequent tooth sensitivity,

and recently noticed while looking in the mirror that the teeth had become significantly worn down, so they came in for treatment.

As a result of the examination, cervical abrasion caused by chewing force and long-term wear was identified,

and one tooth in particular was deeply worn down to the gum line.

🦷 What is cervical abrasion?

It is the wear and loss of the neck area of the tooth (the cervical area),

and it mainly occurs for the following reasons:

Excessive bite force (such as teeth grinding or clenching)

Improper toothbrushing habits

Repeated stimulation from hard foods

Tooth weakening due to aging, etc.

If the wear becomes severe,

❗️the tooth may break,

❗️root canal treatment may be needed,

❗️and it can also lead to cavities or hypersensitivity (sensitivity).

🛠️ Treatment process

At Yesmir Dental Clinic,

we perform resin fillings using GC’s “Lo Flo” and “Bondfil”

🔎 Bondfil resin

Bondfil adheres well to the tooth,

and its retention is also considered good.

It is suitable for treating sensitive areas such as cervical abrasion.

It comes in various shades, so it blends naturally with the patient’s tooth color,

and it also offers excellent aesthetics.

※ For reference, materials called “GI” may also be used for cervical abrasion treatment in addition to resin,

but the case introduced today was treated using Bondfil resin, which has good retention 😊

After treatment, the patient’s sensitivity decreased,

and they were satisfied with the smooth and naturally restored shape of the tooth, even visually!

💬 What if it comes off again after being filled?

If the cause of cervical abrasion itself is “chewing force,”

the resin may come off over time.

But if it is left untreated,

the tooth can gradually break down further,

and eventually this may lead to crown treatment or even extraction.

So even if it does come off, refilling it is the safest option.

With regular checkups and proper care, it can be maintained for a longer time!

🦷 Cervical abrasion is a common problem that can happen to anyone,

but if it is not treated in time, a small area of wear can grow into a bigger problem.

If you feel even a little sensitivity or notice a groove in your tooth,

please don’t hesitate to visit us anytime 😊

We will guide you accurately and kindly!
