To determine whether there is a correlation between dental abrasions and the frequency and technique of tooth brushing, as well as to examine the prevalence of dental abrasion according to age and gender.
This study was carried out on 428 adults (242 female, 186 male) 20 years of age and older, who attended the Department of Operative Dentistry, Department of Oral Diagnosis and Oral Radiology Faculty of Dentistry, Atatürk University.
The study revealed a statistically significant relationship between abrasive lesions and age groups as well as between abrasive lesions and gender. A statistically significant difference was determined between abrasions and tooth brushing frequency, while there was no statistically significant relation between abrasions and tooth brushing technique (p>0.05).
The prevalence of tooth brushing abrasions increases with age, and lesions are seen more frequently in males than in females. Also, tooth brushing technique is not important to the presence of abrasions, but increased tooth brushing frequency results in an increase in the number of abrasions.
确定牙齿磨损与刷牙频率及刷牙方法之间是否存在相关性，并根据年龄和性别检查牙齿磨损的患病率。
本研究对428名20岁及以上的成年人（242名女性，186名男性）进行，这些人来自阿塔图尔克大学牙科学院口腔手术学系、口腔诊断与口腔放射学系。
研究揭示了磨损性病变与年龄组之间以及磨损性病变与性别之间存在统计学上的显著关系。磨损与刷牙频率之间存在统计学上的显著差异，而磨损与刷牙方法之间没有统计学上的显著关系（p>0.05）。
刷牙磨损的患病率随年龄增加而上升，男性比女性更易出现病变。此外，刷牙方法对磨损的存在并不重要，但刷牙频率增加会导致磨损数量增多。
