Most reports of Aboriginal tooth wear have been descriptive, and few have dealt with the question of wear rate. This study records cusp heights of dental casts taken from individuals during a growth study of Aboriginal children from ages six to 18. Their rates of wear were greater than those of Europeans, and the most rapid rate was recorded among Aboriginal males. These differences are due to the quantity of dietary abrasives.
大多数关于原住民牙齿磨损的报告都是描述性的，很少涉及磨损率的问题。本研究记录了在一项针对6至18岁原住民儿童的生长研究中采集的个体牙模的牙尖高度。他们的磨损率高于欧洲人，且原住民男性的磨损率最高。这些差异是由于饮食中的磨蚀性物质的量不同所致。
