==Introduction==
Wear on tooth surfaces that are in contact with one another or an abrasive surface. This usually results from tooth on tooth contact in certain [[Dental Malocclusion|malocclusions]], chewing on fibrous chew toys and balls eg. Tennis balls. <font color="red">(picE2)</font color>
==Signalment==
Occasionally dogs with [[Atopic Dermatitis|chronic skin allergies]] will get abrasion on the incisors from constantly chewing fur/hair. <font color="red">(picE3)</font color>
==Aetiology==
Often these conditions result from abnormal excessive behaviour.
Excessive wear will often result in exposure of the [[Enamel Organ#Pulp|pulp cavity]]. If the wear is gradual, the pulp may respond by laying down more [[Enamel Organ#Dentin|dentine]] – reparative dentine (also known as tertiary dentine).
