Role of Attrition and Occlusal Contact in the Physiology of the Rat Incisor: VIII. Tooth Length and Occlusal Plane as Regulating Factors of Eruption and Attrition Rates
Occlusal pressure has been recognized as an efficient regulator of eruption rate in rat incisors. An abnormal level of the occlusal plane, as determined by incisor length, exhibits a selective regulatory influence on eruption and attrition rates in an attempt to reestablish normal conditions.
