Wear of Modern Denture Teeth—A Systematic Review

The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the different methods used measure artificial teeth wear and determine which denture (or combination tooth types) have better resistance. focused patient, intervention, comparison, outcome (PICO) question for “which available or higher resistance?” method testing measuring also evaluated as a secondary outcome. We searched OVID Medline, PubMed SCOPUS using following terms (MeSH words) with any synonyms closed terms: “wear”, “denture teeth”, tooth”, “artificial “tooth wear”, wear”. Database searches were limited English language studies published between years 1997 2021.
