The causes of tooth surface loss are multi-factorial and hence can be difficult to eradicate. This paper identifies the problems that may be anticipated during the long-term management of patients where tooth surface loss has been treated using removable appliances, where the number of teeth is often reduced. Wear and tear are inevitable and patients should therefore be made fully aware of the possibility of the gradual deterioration and failure of restorative work. Treatments should be planned, which would enable the dentist to recover the situation, with minimal inconvenience to the patient.
牙齿表面丧失的原因是多因素的，因此可能难以根除。本文指出了在使用可摘矫治器治疗牙齿表面丧失的患者的长期管理过程中可能出现的问题，这类患者的牙齿数量通常会减少。磨损是不可避免的，因此应让患者充分了解修复工作逐渐恶化和失败的可能性。应制定相应的治疗计划，使牙医能够在给患者带来最小不便的情况下挽回局面。
