In clinical practice we find commonly that some teeth show cervical
concavities with enamel loss and vertical fracture lines extending towards the
lip of clinical crown this situation is defined as
1) Abfraction
2) Abrasion
3) Erosion
4) Attrition
π Explanation:
Abfraction is the loss of tooth structure at the cervical area (where the tooth meets the gum line) caused by biomechanical loading forces (flexure) on the tooth, resulting in characteristic V-shaped or wedge-shaped lesions with vertical fracture lines.
