In vivo study evaluates bite force and microstrain in patients with tooth wear, indicating restoration benefits.
Coronal microstrain values of mandibular molars increased with severe tooth wear but reduced after placement of composite restorations and elimination of non-functional contacts. Severe occlusal wear increases coronal strain, and placement of a bonded restoration and occlusal correction can limit further wear and fracture.
