“…More recent advocates of the brushing theory took an opposite stand and evidenced that soft brushes cause more abrasion than hard toothbrushes (Dyer et al 2000). Saxton & Cowell (1981) studied the effect of toothpastes with an abrasion index of 20–120 on the rate of mineralized tissue loss. They concluded that the 1 μ /week average deepening of the lesions could not be explained by the use of dentifrices and that the lesions were surely due to the brush.…”

“…But the (4) 2006 toothbrush acts only as a device to carry the abrasive paste to the tooth surface. Even if the toothpaste does cause wear, the amount has been estimated to be a few microns rather than the more extreme wear seen clinically (Saxton and Cowell, 1981). Further doubts about toothbrush abrasion causing cervical wear were reported by Volpe et al (1975) in a study of 120 subjects using 2 dentifrices.…”

The terms 'abfraction' and 'abrasion' describe the cause of lesions found along the cervical margins of teeth. Erosion, abrasion, and attrition have all been associated with their formation. Early research suggested that the cause of the V-shaped lesion was excessive horizontal toothbrushing. Abfraction is another possible etiology and involves occlusal stress, producing cervical cracks that predispose the surface to erosion and abrasion. This article critically reviews the literature on abrasion, erosion, and abrasion, and abfraction. The references were obtained by a MEDLINE search in March, 2005, and from this, hand searches were undertaken. From the literature, there is little evidence, apart from laboratory studies, to indicate that abfraction exists other than as a hypothetical component of cervical wear.

“…Many variables have been suggested to infl uence toothbrushing abrasion, e.g. brushing technique and force, duration and frequency of brushing, type of brush, fi lament stiffness and fi lament end-rounding [Padbury and Ash, 1974;Bergstrom and Lavstedt, 1979;Saxton and Cowell, 1981;McLey et al, 1997;Heanue et al, 2003]. However, there is considerable evidence that hard tissue abrasion is primarily a function of toothpaste and that the toothbrush only indirectly infl uences the outcome as a means for toothpaste transportation over the tooth surface [Addy and Hunter, 2003].…”

This study aimed to evaluate the susceptibility of eroded enamel to brushing abrasion performed by manual, power or sonic toothbrushes. Bovine enamel samples were subjected to 5 cycles, each consisting of 5 min demineralisation, 15 min remineralisation and 10 min brushing in a machine. Toothbrushing with the activated electric devices was supplemented with 20 linear strokes/min. Furthermore, enamel specimens were brushed with 20 linear strokes/min or 80 linear strokes/min with the electric toothbrushes without their individual operating action. A manual brush was applied at 100, 20 or 80 linear strokes/min. Specimens of the control group were not brushed after demineralisation. Loss of enamel was determined by profilometry. For all groups, substrate loss for linear brushing treatment applying 20 or 80 strokes/min did not differ significantly from the control (4.97 ± 1.49 µm). Three power toothbrushing treatments significantly increased abrasion compared to linear brushing treatment with 20 or 80 strokes/min in their inactivated condition. The results indicate that brushing treatment with power or sonic toothbrushes may lead to significantly higher loss of demineralised enamel compared to toothbrushing without power or sonic support.
