The second premolars of both the upper and lower jaws showed varying degrees of attrition [Figure 1a-e]. There was no furcation involvement and mobility associated with these teeth [Figure 1f and g]. All the molars showed the presence of pulpal calcifications in the pulp chamber [Figure 1h]. The patient was on a regular maintenance programme and has been followed up for 3 years [Figure 1i].

(a) Note the absence of enamel in the upper and lower teeth and complete absence of Cuspal tips in the lower teeth due to severe attrition. (b) Proximal caries in relation to mesial surfaces of both the upper lateral incisors. Presence of deep periodontal pocket in relation to the distal surface of right central incisor (c) The gingiva appears moderately inflammed with bulbous interdental papillae and rolled margins. Presence of deep periodontal pocket in relation to the distal surface of left central incisor

The mandibular teeth did not show any significant probing depths [Figure 2a-c].
Orthopantomogram shows proximal caries in relation to lower first molars and initial bone loss in relation to the distal surfaces of both molars
