ABSTRACT
Attrition is the loss of teeth structure by mechanical forces from opposing teeth. The extent of attrition will depend upon the use to which an individual puts their teeth. Tooth brushing should be avoided immediately after consuming acidic drinks and foods for a period of time as it fastens the rate at which attrition of teeth occurs. This article focuses on the clinical aspect of attrition and methods by which it can be prevented.
