The natural history of deciduous tooth attrition in hominoids

open access: closedJournal of Human Evolution, 1991
Abstract The degree of attrition on the mandibular deciduous teeth of 35 great apes, between 6 months and 5 years of age, was recorded by direct observation of each tooth. Specimens of Gorilla show markedly advanced attrition in relation to specimens Pan or Pongo of similar age.

The Interactions between Attrition, Abrasion and Erosion in Tooth Wear

open access: closedMonographs in Oral Science, 2014
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.

Biological Age Affecting Attrition and Tooth Loss in a Follow-up Study

open access: closedJournal of Dental Research
In population-based longitudinal studies, bias caused by nonresponse among eligible participants and attrition during follow-up thwarts conclusions. As this issue is not commonly addressed in dental studies, it is the aim of this study to examine the consequences of attrition with respect to tooth loss and mortality in a 10-y follow-up study. From the

The accuracy of simple ordinal scoring of tooth attrition in age assessment

open access: closedForensic Science International, 1990
Tooth wear is frequently used as a method of ageing skeletal remains. Fundamental to this method is the ability to measure the amount of tooth wear. The Brothwell chart based on the Miles method of ageing, uses simple ordinal scoring and is frequently used by archeologists. The purpose of the present investigation was to evaluate the accuracy of simple

Replication of human occlusal tooth attrition surfaces for scanning electron microscopic study

Journal of Oral Rehabilitation, 1991
SummarySilicone negative replicas of dentine islands exposed by occlusal attrition were examined on extracted human teeth using the scanning electron microscope. Because the details of the dentinal tubules were reproducible on the silicone impression, the replication technique was applied in vivo to occlusal attrition to demonstrate patent dentinal ...

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

open access: closedAmerican 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.

The Estimation of Tooth Age from Attrition of the Occlusal Surface

open access: closedMedicine, 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
