It may be caused by tooth decay (caries) or by non-decay processes such as wear and acid exposure. Dentists use the term to describe what they see clinically and on imaging when evaluating sensitivity, discoloration, or tooth structure loss. The term is commonly used in exams, treatment planning, and discussions about gumline fillings and root-surface problems."}
