Various influencing factors have been cited through the literature.This paper presents an overview of the prosthetic materials commonly used and their implication in the wear process of antagonist teeth or prostheses. A search was conducted on PubMed and Elsevier using the following key-words: wear, wear resistance, abrasiveness, prostheses wear, prostheses resistance, restorations wear, prostheses material, abrasion etiology and abrasion physiopathology. Patient and material–related factors were reported. Comparison of the protocols remains …

The study of the dentition is a common manner for age determination. In this article, we will discuss the pertinent methods to estimate the dental age of unknown dead or young alive people. In children, histological techniques as well as tooth eruption or calcification are appropriate to assess dental age in postmortem. After 15 years, it becomes difficult to estimate the age, since the phenomena related to the tooth eruption or calcification is completed. Therefore, the rate of racemization and Lamendin method are pertinent to determine the age adults in postmortem. Finally, in young alive people where age determination has …

The congenital absence of one or more permanent teeth is a common dental anomaly. It can seriously affect a young person, both physically and emotionally, particularly when the missing tooth is located in the anterior region of the maxillary dental arch. The aim of the present descriptive cross-sectional study was to evaluate the prevalence of hypodontia of the permanent dentition and to determine the most common congenitally missing permanent teeth in a sample of 2401 Sudanese university students.A total of 100 congenitally missing teeth were observed in 64 students (7 males and 57 females); the overall prevalence of hypodontia in …
