Zusammenfassung:Key Points Identifies the need for active restorative intervention for any patient presenting with pathological tooth wear. Describes possible approaches to the successful restoration of a dentition presenting with localised pathological tooth wear. Discusses how contemporary treatment protocols have been significantly influenced by advances in understanding of adhesive dentistry and occlusion. This second of the four part series of articles on the current concepts of tooth wear management will focus on the provision of active restorative care, where the implementation of a preventative, passive approach may prove insufficient to meet the patient's expectations, or indeed prove to be sufficiently adequate to address the extent of the underlying pathology to the desired level of clinical satisfaction. The active restorative management of cases presenting with localised tooth wear (of either the anterior, posterior, maxillary or mandibular variety) will be considered in depth in this paper, including a description of the commonly applied techniques and treatment strategies, where possible illustrated by case examples.
