Abfractions

An abfraction is the pathological loss of tooth structure owing to biomechanical forces (flexion, compression, or tension) or chemical degradation.  It's most visible as V-shaped notches in the cervial area of the tooth.  Possible symptoms include sensitivity while brushing and to cold temperatures.
