A study of the degree and gradient of attrition was undertaken on 352 molar teeth of 88 selected Nigerian subjects. A method for the quantification of attrition experience per molar tooth is described. There is a close correlation between age and the degree of attrition of the first molar. This finding may be of value in age determination in forensic odontology. The wear on the first molar is about two stages ahead of that on the second and third molars. It is suggested that the degree of tooth attrition may be an index of masticatory activity.
对88名选定的尼日利亚受试者的352颗磨牙进行了磨耗程度和梯度的研究。描述了一种量化每颗磨牙磨耗情况的方法。第一磨牙的磨耗程度与年龄之间存在密切相关性。这一发现可能在法医牙科学的年龄判定中具有价值。第一磨牙的磨损比第二和第三磨牙超前约两个阶段。有人提出牙齿磨耗程度可能是咀嚼活动的一个指标。
