Treatment for abfraction teeth is aimed at addressing both the functional and aesthetic aspects of the lesions. The choice of treatment depends on several factors, including the extent of the lesion, the underlying cause, and the overall health of the patient’s teeth.

If abfraction is causing significant tooth sensitivity, this must be addressed along with the restoration. Identifying any bite issues or occlusal stresses is critical, as these must be corrected to prevent future damage.

Dentists perform a visual examination to assess the size, shape, and location of abfraction lesions. They check for signs of enamel wear, microcracks, and dentin exposure.
