Ultrasonographic evaluation of mandibular elevator muscles to assess effects of attrition-type tooth wear on masticatory function [PDF]
Objectives: Occlusal alterations may result in changes in the functional performance of masticatory muscles. This study was planned to evaluate mandibular elevator muscles of patients with dental attrition by using ultrasonography (USG).

Prevalence and Severity of Dental Attrition in a Sample of Kurdish Patients in Erbil City [PDF]
Tooth attrition is a non-caries lesion worn off the tooth's incisal and occlusal surface and belongs to the wasting disease group. This study aims to determine the prevalence and severity of tooth attrition concerning gender, age groups, and tooth ...

Tooth surface loss: A review of literature [PDF]
Objectives: Tooth surface loss (TSL) or tooth wear (TW) is an irreversible loss of hard tooth structure caused by factors other than those responsible for dental caries. TSL is observed clinically as attrition, abrasion, abfraction, and erosion.

Poly(alkyl methacrylate) tooth coatings for dental care: evaluation of the demineralisation-protection benefit using a time-resolved in vitro method [PDF]
An in vitro method for the time-resolved quantification of acid-mediated tooth demineralisation has been developed and evaluated against putative non-permanent protective formulations based on a series of poly(alkyl methacrylate)s.
