The Estimation of Tooth Age from Attrition of the Occlusal Surface

Medicine, Science and the Law, 1989
Age estimation in unidentified bodies is inaccurate. Usually only a broad range of ages, such as 20–30 years or 30–50 years, can be given, especially when postmortem change has occurred. Thus there is a real need in routine forensic practice for greater accuracy. Takei (1970, 1981), looked at the relationship between teeth and age by using the ‘Theory

Tooth wear: intrinsic and extrinsic mechanical factors

Dental Update, 2023
Tooth wear, the progressive loss of dental hard tissue not caused by decay or trauma, is a multi-faceted phenomenon with implications for oral health and aesthetics.

Interaction between Attrition,Abrasion and Erosion in Tooth Wear

2006
Tooth wear is the result of three processes: abrasion (wear produced by interaction between teeth and other materials), attrition (wear through tooth-tooth contact) and erosion (dissolution of hard tissue by acidic substances). A further process (abfraction) might potentiate wear by abrasion and/or erosion.

Tooth loss, attrition and temporomandibular joint changes in a Romano‐British population

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1985
SummaryMandibular condyles and temporal fossae were studied in a large Romano‐British collection of skulls.The size and shape of the condyles differed from those in previous populations studied. Changes in form or shape of the condyles were age‐related and could be correlated to the number of teeth lost on the same side and on the contralateral side ...

Tooth wear: attrition, erosion, and abrasion.

Quintessence international (Berlin, Germany : 1985), 2003
Attrition, erosion, and abrasion result in alterations to the tooth and manifest as tooth wear. Each classification acts through a distinct process that is associated with unique clinical characteristics. Accurate prevalence data for each classification are not available since indices do not necessarily measure one specific etiology, or the study ...

Australian aboriginal tooth succession, interproximal attrition, and Begg's theory

American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 1990
In 1954, P.R. Begg analyzed interproximal attrition as a prehistorically universal mechanism to reduce tooth size. With modern processed diets and the virtual disappearance of constant interproximal attrition, Begg asserted, teeth remain too large for the arches and become crowded.

Methods for Assessing and Measuring Tooth Wear-Applications in Clinical Research and a Comparison of the Basic Erosive Wear Examination, Tooth Wear Index and Tooth Wear Evaluation System Version 2.0.

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation
BACKGROUND Tooth wear is an increasing concern, particularly among younger individuals, driven by lifestyle and dietary changes as well as by bruxism. This condition, including attrition, abrasion and erosion, can result in sensitivity, aesthetic decline

Psychological correlates of quality of life in individuals with Charcot-Marie-Tooth-disease

International Journal of Spa and Wellness
Charcot-Marie Tooth (CMT) is a genetic and incurable disease of the peripheral nerves. Yet, no research has examined illness perceptions in individuals with CMT.

The role of erosion, abrasion and attrition in tooth wear.

The Journal of clinical dentistry, 2007
There is increasing clinical awareness of erosion of enamel and dentine by dietary acids and the consequent increased susceptibility to physical wear. Enamel erosion is characterized by acid-mediated surface softening that, if unchecked, will progress to irreversible loss of surface tissue, potentially exposing the underlying dentine.

Role of Attrition and Occlusal Contact in the Physiology of the Rat Incisor: VIII. Tooth Length and Occlusal Plane as Regulating Factors of Eruption and Attrition Rates

Journal of Dental Research, 1974
Occlusal pressure has been recognized as an efficient regulator of eruption rate in rat incisors. An abnormal level of the occlusal plane, as determined by incisor length, exhibits a selective regulatory influence on eruption and attrition rates in an attempt to reestablish normal conditions.
