A member asked:
Is class 6 carries caused mainly by bruxism and attrition due to chewing hard bones with molar?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Class 6 lesions occur on incisal surfaces of anterior teeth and cusp tips of canines, premolars and molars due to the enamel being worn away in those areas. Bruxism may be a contributing factor.
