Abstract

Introduction: Attrition is related to the hardness of the tooth. The masticatory forces generated during various functional and para functional contacts between the opposing teeth. Masticatory forces are related to the form and function of the masticatory organ. The amount of masticatory forces is the product of the mechanical efficiency of the jaw systems and the size and bulk of the jaw muscles. The size and contour of the dento-facial complex dictates the shape of the face. Therefore the amount of masticatory forces will vary along with different types of face form. Aim: To determine the relationship between attrition and different types of face-form. Materials and methods: A total number of 1947 subject of the age group ranging from 18 to 45 years of both sexes with all natural teeth were included. These subjects had no history of orthodontic treatment. All the subjects were clinically examined for attrition and face-form. Results: The data collected, tabulated and statistically analyzed using Chi Square test. The value of the Chi square computed was much less than chi- square critical. Conclusion: The result was statistically significant and a definite relation was established between the face-form and the attrition of teeth.
