Connecting morphology, function and tooth wear in microchiropterans
A key objective in understanding the dentition of mammals is the ability to predict the function of teeth from their shape. Very few studies have used dental measurements that allow the prediction of comparative tooth effectiveness, particularly when modification in shape due to tooth wear is considered. Here, dental parameters are used in which a change in the parameter is readily interpretabl...
متن کاملTooth morphology in function of selfprotective mechanism.
The degree of curvature of vestibular and oral tooth surfaces is determined by the shape sequence from the tooth crown to the epithelial attachment and the alveolar bone, and directly influences the health of gingiva and the entire tooth support system. The goal of this research was to determine vestibulo-oral planes of upper and lower permanent premolars and molars and the thickness of the ass...

متن کاملClinical measurement of tooth wear: Tooth wear indices
Attrition, erosion, and abrasion result in alterations to the tooth and manifest as tooth wear. Each classification corresponds to a different process with specific clinical features. Classifications made so far have no accurate prevalence data because the indexes do not necessarily measure a specific etiology, or because the study populations can be diverse in age and characteristics. Tooth we...
متن کاملPrevalence Of Tooth Wear
s: Background: Tooth wear is a condition that encompasses attrition, abrasion and erosion and has a multifactorial etiology. Prevalence of tooth wear is reported to be between 5-50%.This wide range probably reflects the various parameters used in assessing of tooth wear and the difficulty in differentiating between the types of tooth wear. Diagnosing tooth wear and eliciting the etiological fac...
