Tooth wear refers to the loss of dental material that occurs throughout life due to causes other than cavities or acute trauma, and it is a normal process in all adults. The outermost layer of the tooth is enamel, which is the hardest substance in the human body and does not regenerate naturally. Enamel can be worn away due to contact between teeth, between teeth and foreign objects, between teeth and crowns, or exposure to acidic environments. Accurately measuring the rate of wear, volume reduction, and shape changes of teeth and crowns is essential for effectively slowing down tooth wear. All these calculations can be performed using surface subtraction analysis. Surface subtraction analysis can examine shape changes in relatively small areas across the entire sample, making it extremely important for various applications. This method allows for the effective quantification of surface wear or corrosion, as well as the similarity between two components or molds. Precisely measuring the surface area and volume loss in the area of interest is crucial for the proper design of wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant coatings, films, and substrates.
