Ten abrasive-containing dentifrices, representing about
of the sales of such products, were tested in duplicate for their abrasion of cementum and dentine by a procedure designed to reproduce oral conditions. As shown by photograph and by measurement of the tooth contour, all the dentifrices produced wear of the softer calcified structures ranging from 0.2 to 2.1 millimeters after 86,400 brush strokes, probably equivalent to six years of average daily brushing. In contrast to this a commercial liquid dentifrice failed to produce measurable abrasion when tested in an identical manner on the reverse surfaces of the same teeth.
