It commonly affects enamel first and may later involve dentin (the softer layer under enamel). The term is used in dental exams to describe patterns of surface loss, sensitivity, and changes in bite or appearance. Clinicians use it to guide diagnosis, risk assessment, and long-term treatment planning."}
