Tooth wear is predominantly the result of a combination of three processes; [[attrition (dental)|attrition]], [[Abrasion (dental)|abrasion]] and [[Erosion (dental)|erosion]].<ref name="ReferenceC"/> These forms of tooth wear can further lead to a condition known as [[abfraction]],<ref name="ReferenceC"/> where by tooth tissue is 'fractured' due to stress lesions caused by extrinsic forces on the enamel. Tooth wear is a complex, multi-factorial problem and there is often difficulty identifying a single causative factor.<ref name="ReferenceC"/> However, tooth wear is often a combination of the above processes. Many clinicians, therefore, make diagnoses such as "tooth wear with a major element of attrition", or "tooth wear with a major element of erosion" to reflect this. This makes the diagnosis and management difficult.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> Therefore, it is important to distinguish between these various types of tooth wear, provide an insight into diagnosis, risk factors, and causative factors, in order to implement appropriate interventions.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> Tooth wear evaluation system (TWES) may help determine the most likely aetiology of tooth wear.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Wetselaar|first1=P.|last2=Lobbezoo|first2=F.|date=January 2016|title=The tooth wear evaluation system: a modular clinical guideline for the diagnosis and management planning of worn dentitions|url=http://doi.wiley.com/10.1111/joor.12340|journal=Journal of Oral Rehabilitation|language=en|volume=43|issue=1|pages=69–80|doi=10.1111/joor.12340|pmid=26333037}}</ref> Heavy tooth wear is commonly found on the occlusal (chewing) surface, but [[non-carious cervical lesions]] from tooth wear are also common in some populations.<ref name="sciencedirect.com">{{Cite journal|date=2018-09-01|title=Root grooves on two adjacent anterior teeth of Australopithecus africanus|journal=International Journal of Paleopathology|language=en|volume=22|pages=163–7|doi=10.1016/j.ijpp.2018.02.004|pmid=30126662|issn=1879-9817|last1=Towle|first1=Ian|last2=Irish|first2=Joel D.|last3=Elliott|first3=Marina|last4=De Groote|first4=Isabelle|s2cid=52056962|url=http://researchonline.ljmu.ac.uk/id/eprint/8352/1/Root%20groove%20article%20JDI.pdf}}</ref>

===Erosion===
[[Erosion (dental)|Erosion]] is chemical [[Dissolution (chemistry)|dissolution]] of tooth substance caused by acids, unrelated to the acid produced by bacteria in dental plaque.<ref name="ReferenceB"/> Erosion may occur with excessive consumption of acidic foods and drinks, or medical conditions involving repeated regurgitation and reflux of gastric acid.<ref name="Odell 2010">{{cite book|editor-last=Odell EW|title=Clinical problem solving in dentistry|year=2010|publisher=Churchill Livingstone|location=Edinburgh|isbn={{Format ISBN|9780443067846}}978-0-443-06784-6|pages=285–7|edition=3rd}}</ref> It is derived from the Latin word ''erosum'', which describes the action ‘to [[corrode]]’.<ref name="ReferenceA"/> This is usually on the palatal (inside) surfaces of upper front teeth and the occluding (top) surfaces of the [[Molar (tooth)|molar]] teeth.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Dental Erosion {{!}} American Dental Association |url=https://www.ada.org/resources/ada-library/oral-health-topics/dental-erosion |access-date=2024-04-19 |website=www.ada.org}}</ref> Dental erosion is rarely seen in the archaeological record, but certain cases have been described which suggested acidic fruits and/or plants were regularly consumed.<ref name="sciencedirect.com"/>
