Mechanics of microwear traces in tooth enamel
Acta Biomaterialia, 2015It is hypothesized that microwear traces in natural tooth enamel can be simulated and quantified using microindentation mechanics. Microcontacts associated with particulates in the oral wear medium are modeled as sharp indenters with fixed semi-apical angle.

New model to explain tooth wear with implications for microwear formation and diet reconstruction [PDF]
Significance Dental microwear is among the most common proxies paleontologists use for diet reconstruction. Recent models have suggested that while quartz grit adherent to food produces wear of tooth enamel, softer particles, such as silica phytoliths found in many plants, do not.

Wearing down the constraints of low magnification tooth microwear analysis: reproducibility and variability of results based on extant ungulates [PDF]
AbstractLow magnification dental microwear analysis is a widespread dietary proxy for palaeoenvironmental analyses. The limitations of the method, such as observer bias or variation of microwear scars between different tooth positions, are still not quite understood.

Premolar microwear and tooth use in Australopithecus afarensis
Journal of Human Evolution, 2013The mandibular third premolar (P3) of Australopithecus afarensis is notable for extensive morphological variability (e.g., metaconid presence/absence, closure of the anterior fovea, root number) and temporal trends in crown length and shape change over its 700 Ka time range. Hominins preceding A.
