The aim of the overview is to critically analyse the contributing factors to the biological wear process and to screen the wear simulators in dentistry for their capacity to mimic the wear conditions. An overview of the types of wear, grouped as biotribocorrosion, combined with a description of the different wear simulating devices will allow us to better understand the multifactorial nature of wear.
A search on keywords highlights the most common in-vitro wear simulators and their use in the laboratories for various simulation applications.
Wear is a complex process that can hardly be simulated while controlling all variables. Especially the extrapolation of the in-vitro wear results to the in-vivo situation is difficult because there is a lot of interplay with biological factors that are difficult to mimic.
It is not the degree of sophistication, but the right mix of controllable variables that will make a wear simulator predictive.
本综述的目的是批判性地分析生物磨损过程的影响因素，并筛选牙科磨损模拟器模拟磨损条件的能力。对磨损类型（归类为生物摩擦腐蚀）进行综述，并结合对不同磨损模拟装置的描述，将有助于我们更好地理解磨损的多因素性质。
通过对关键词的检索，突出了最常见的体外磨损模拟器及其在实验室中用于各种模拟应用的情况。
磨损是一个复杂的过程，在控制所有变量的同时很难进行模拟。特别是将体外磨损结果外推至体内情况很困难，因为与难以模拟的生物因素存在大量相互作用。
使磨损模拟器具有预测性的并非其复杂程度，而是可控变量的正确组合。
