Bruxing Sideways: Effect on Canine/Molars - Grinding of cuspid (canine) developing to back tooth wear, recession and abfraction ## Purposes - Show that canine bruxing breaks down anterior guidance, leading to problems with molars including recession, looseness, wear, cracks and abfractions. - Illustrate that the recessions and abfractions we see at gum lines are not only from brushing teeth too hard but from flexure and repeated bending. | | --- | --- | | ![teeth](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/anim16-2.jpg) ![teeth](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/anim16-6.jpg) ![teeth](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/anim16-5.jpg) **Each animation includes supporting** ** photos and is equipped with detailed clinical notes** ![bruxing sideways](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/animation16_cutframe.gif) | ## Presenting - State how the front teeth have longer roots in general than the back teeth, and experience smaller forces as they are further from the fulcrum. - Explain that possibly when searching for a centric bite, nervous habits, or stress, we can also wear down our front teeth - shown in an accelerated manner in this animation. - When the front teeth wear down, anterior guidance is lost. - Back teeth can now experience sideways forces that they do not bear well, so they are loosened. - Teeth can also bend slightly by these forces causing abfractions where the hard enamel of the crown meets the softer cementum of the root. - Photos illustrate how abfractions can also occur in the front teeth when they are experiencing bruxing. | | --- | --- | ![pro](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/pro.jpg) [![](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/buy.gif?width=108&height=25&name=buy.gif)](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/purchase/) ![](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/people_say.gif?width=149&height=41&name=people_say.gif) ![](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/end_round_people_says.gif?width=149&height=11&name=end_round_people_says.gif) [![](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/hs-fs/images/read_comments.gif?width=149&height=45&name=read_comments.gif)](https://hubspot.bitefx.com/testimonials/) © 2014 D2Effects LLC.
