[Longitudinal study on the abrasion of plastic teeth in total prostheses]. 1979

B Rarisch

After a period of two years, the abrasion rate for standard plastic lateral teeth is one-tenth of a millimeter. The abrasion rate is then one-tenth of a millimeter per year for each succeeding year. A vertical loss of approximately four-tenths of a millimeter, for example, occurs during a five-year period. The abrasion rate is not related to the position of the prosthesis. The molar region shows a lesser degree of abrasion than anterior sections of the dental arch.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D008963	Molar	The most posterior teeth on either side of the jaw, totaling eight in the deciduous dentition (2 on each side, upper and lower), and usually 12 in the permanent dentition (three on each side, upper and lower). They are grinding teeth, having large crowns and broad chewing surfaces. (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p821)	Molars
D010969	Plastics	Polymeric materials (usually organic) of large molecular weight which can be shaped by flow. Plastic usually refers to the final product with fillers, plasticizers, pigments, and stabilizers included (versus the resin, the homogeneous polymeric starting material).

D014072	Tooth Abrasion	The pathologic wearing away of the tooth substance by brushing, bruxism, clenching, and other mechanical causes. It is differentiated from TOOTH ATTRITION in that this type of wearing away is the result of tooth-to-tooth contact, as in mastication, occurring only on the occlusal, incisal, and proximal surfaces. It differs also from TOOTH EROSION, the progressive loss of the hard substance of a tooth by chemical processes not involving bacterial action.
