“…The prevalence of tooth wear is high and varies widely in different parts of the world[5]. In Germany, among 836 people, the prevalence of tooth wear with dentin exposure was 23.4%[6]. In Japan, among 1108 participants aged 15–89 yrs, 26.1% had signs of erosive wear[7].…”

Numerous epidemiological studies have focused on the prevalence and related indicators of tooth wear. However, no sufficient studies have been conducted with Chinese adults. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of tooth wear and identify related indicators among adults aged 36 to 74 years in Wuhan City, P.R. China. A cross-sectional and analytic study was conducted with 720 participants, aged 35–49 yrs and 50–74 yrs, in 2014. Each age group included 360 participants, of which 50% were males and 50% were females. All participants completed a questionnaire before examination. Tooth wear was assessed using the modified Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index. The data were analyzed using the chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of tooth wear was 67.5% and 100% in the 35–49 and 50–74 age groups, respectively. The prevalence of dentin exposure was 64.7% and 98.3%, respectively. A significantly higher prevalence of tooth wear and dentin exposure was found in the 50–74 yr group than in the 35–49 yr group (p < 0.05). Critical indicators of tooth wear and dentin exposure included high frequency of acidic drinks and foods consumption, low socio-economic status, and unilateral chewing. The frequency of changing toothbrushes and the habit of drinking water during meals were associated with tooth wear. In addition, the usage of hard-bristle toothbrushes and consuming vitamin C and aspirin were found to be linked with dentin exposure. In conclusion, the prevalence of tooth wear and dentin exposure observed in Chinese adults was high, and the results revealed an association between tooth wear and socio-behavioral risk indicators.

“…The first reason was associated with a greater tendency for tooth wear in males. However, previous studies found that gender did not affect tooth wear 2025. The second reason involved hormonal changes in elderly women, which could potentially destroy periodontal tissues 26.…”

“…This type of study would be both objective and easily accessible, which is quite advantageous 16. Thus, studies on the aesthetic analysis of anterior teeth between different races have been reported 1217181920. These studies were mostly limited to research on young patients or dental college graduates 21521…”

PURPOSEThe purpose of this study was to compare the width ratio of maxillary anterior teeth according to age in the Korean population and to evaluate the maxillary central incisor width-to-length (W/L) ratio, given differences in age and gender.MATERIALS AND METHODSNinety-three Korean adults were divided into 3 groups (n = 31) by age. Group I was 20 - 39 years old, Group II was 40 - 59 years old, and Group III was over 60 years of age. After taking an impression and a cast model of the maxillary arch, the anterior teeth width ratio and central incisor W/L ratio were calculated from standard digital images of the cast models using a graph paper with a digital single lens reflex (DSLR) camera. The calculated ratios were compared among all groups and central incisor W/L ratio were analyzed according to age and gender. All comparative data were statistically analyzed with one-sample t-tests, one-way ANOVAs with Tukey tests, and independent t-tests.RESULTSNo significant differences in maxillary anterior teeth ratios were found among the age groups. The maxillary central incisor W/L ratios in Group III were the greatest and were significantly higher than those in the other groups. The central incisor W/L ratio of men was higher than that of women in Group II.CONCLUSIONMaxillary anterior teeth width ratios were similar in all age groups in the Korean population. The maxillary central incisor was observed as worn teeth in the group over 60 years of age, and a significant difference between genders was found in 40 to 50 year olds.

“…The increasing tooth wear in anterior teeth exhibited age-related linear progress due to the initially predominant guidance by anterior teeth, which flattens the crown appearance. 44 These changes may require maintenance adjustments or possible remaking of the implant crown as a result of adult growth, wear, or esthetic changes of aging.…”

“…Other experts noted that when increased attention was given to replicating individual traits of the reference tooth, much improvement was achieved in these parameters 26. The increasing tooth wear in anterior teeth exhibited age-related linear progress due to the initially predominant guidance by anterior teeth, which flattens the crown appearance 44. In this study, we analyzed data according to different age groups, and valuable results were obtained.…”
