Dental Enamel Composition in Teeth with Severe and No Occlusal Wear

Key Points

• To examine the differences in dental enamel composition between teeth with severe occlusal wear and those without.
• Evaluated enamel samples from two cohorts: high wear (HW) and no wear (NW).
• Measured mineral content including calcium, phosphorus, carbon, oxygen, and sodium.
• Used comparative analysis to identify differences in composition.
• No significant differences in mineral content between the HW and NW cohorts.
• Only one sample from the NW cohort showed signs of demineralization.
