Bonding...cervical abrasion



Well today is Friday and we are all anxious for the weekend to start but we do have patients scheduled today!
Here is another very simple case in which a young woman with otherwise healthy teeth presented with an area of gum recession around an upper canine. The recession caused the patient to abrade and wear away some of the tooth structure at the gum line, often termed cervical abrasion.
Within just a few minutes we were able to bond (a fancy dental term for glue) an esthtetic tooth colored filling into the area. This will restore the tooth back to its original form and prevent further abrasion of the tooth!

See you next week...have a good weekend!
