 Attrition is the physiological wearing of the tooth due to masticatory forces

 Bruxism is a known cause of attrition

 Abrasion is caused by abrasive dentifrices, cigars, pipes, smokeless tobacco use, improper tooth brushing techniques, and inappropriate use of dental floss or toothpicks

 Erosion is caused by dietary acids from soft drinks, fruit juices and wine, chronic regurgitation of gastric contents (as in oesophageal reflux disorder, bulimia, and pregnancy), and chewable vitamin C and aspirin tablets

 Abfraction occurs when occlusal forces are eccentrically applied to a tooth
