Non-Carious Cervical Lesions in Wild Primates: Implications for Understanding Toothpick Grooves and Abfraction Lesions. [PDF]
Am J Biol AnthropolABSTRACT Objectives In clinical settings, non‐carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are often linked to abrasion, erosion, abfraction, or a combination of these factors. In archaeological and paleontological remains, the most common NCCL is the “toothpick groove,” yet little is known about the occurrence of these and other NCCLs in wild non‐human primates ...

Molar macrowear reveals Neanderthal eco-geographic dietary variation [PDF]
, 2011 Neanderthal diets are reported to be based mainly on the consumption of large and medium sized herbivores, while the exploitation of other food types including plants has also been demonstrated.

Dietary ecology of Smilodon across time and space: Additional perspectives from Smilodon gracilis and Smilodon fatalis in Florida. [PDF]
Anat Rec (Hoboken)Dental microwear texture analysis of Smilodon samples from Florida's Pleistocene reveals moderate carcass utilization (like modern African lions) across space and time, with more subtle dietary shifts in response to fluctuating climates. Abstract Smilodon, the iconic saber‐toothed cat, was a Pleistocene apex predator comprised of three morphologically ...

Lifestyle changes and its effect towards the evolution of human dentition
Egyptian Journal of Forensic Sciences, 2022 Background The dentition of modern humans has evolved from their hominid ancestors to their current form. Factors regarding the changes of lifestyle such as dietary habits and usage of tools have affected the evolution of human dentition.

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Dental microwear texture analysis (DMTA) is rapidly expanding for the dietary estimation of extinct animals. There has been an extensive accumulation of microwear texture data from herbivorous mammals, especially for ruminant artiodactyls, but suids are ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Dental wear analyses are classically applied to mammals because they have evolved heterodont dentitions for sophisticated mastication. Recently, several studies have shown a correlation between pre-assigned and analytically inferred diet preferences in ...

Buccal dental-microwear and dietary ecology in a free-ranging population of mandrills (Mandrillus sphinx) from southern Gabon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Analyses of dental micro- and macro-wear offer valuable information about dietary adaptations. The buccal surface of the teeth does not undergo attrition, indicating that dental microwear may directly inform about food properties. Only a few studies have,

Accuracy of dental microwear impressions by physical properties of silicone materials
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Dental microwear analysis is an oft-used paleodietary estimation method, and the impression molds or resin casts are often analyzed rather than the original tooth surfaces.
