"Erosione" can sometimes be translated as "abrasion"-whatever fits your context best (not much here).

filing the putty

My comment:

this sounds like the production of a temporary crown. In this case, an impression would be taken and the space filled with a "putty" which would then harden and be a fit for the occlusion required. There might be a bit of filing required to get the final shape. Does this fit your context?
