The continued in vivo evaluation of the wear of restorative resins
JC Mitchem

DG Gronas
This study reports on the 3-year results of a method designed to measure the in vivo wear rates of resin systems in denture teeth. Adaptic and Profile showed the most amounts of wear, followed by Finesse, Miradapt, and Isopast. The least amounts of wear were seen with Isosit and Silar. The similarity to the magnitudes of wear reported in other studies suggests the appropriateness of using this technique.
