Electromechanical dentin abrasion measurements showed that the irradiation treatment applied before radio tracer dentin abrasion measurements reduced the wear resistance of dentin. This caused changes in the measured relative abrasitivities of dentifrices. Effects of storage in aqueous media were also investigated.
