Role of Attrition and Occlusal Contact in the Physiology of the Rat Incisor: III. Prevention of Attrition and Occlusal Contact in the Nonarticulating Incisor
Removal of occlusal contact in the absence of attrition liberates the growth potential of the rat incisor, which is expressed in a doubled rate of axial growth and eruption. The differentiation times, the life spans and the rates of apposition of dental hard tissue-forming cells, however, are independent of the rates of growth and eruption.
