    Dental caries is tooth decay caused by acids from plaque bacteria. Attrition and abrasion are types of tooth wear caused by grinding or rubbing, while erosion is tooth surface loss from acid not from plaque. Abfraction is a theory that tooth cracking is caused by repetitive flexing forces at the tooth-gum junction. Dental caries can be classified as either smooth surface caries or pit and fissure caries depending on its location on the tooth.
