Brief Summary

Tooth wear is a physiological process occurring from normal functioning of the dentition throughout lifetime.

Detailed Description

The studies in the current literature indicated that both techniques of tooth preparation and the materials used are appropriate for the treatment of this condition, but the tendency is to reduce tooth preparation as reasonably possible. In this clinical trial, the investigators will compare the outcomes of direct resin composite and indirect polymer-infiltrated-ceramic-network.
