The association between dental wear and reduced vertical dimension of the face: A morphologic study on human skulls

Highlights • A positive correlation was observed between age and significant dental wear. • No statistically significant differences were noted between the men and women. • No significant differences were found in either lower or upper facial height between the two wear groups. • No significant diff...

Description
Summary:	Highlights • A positive correlation was observed between age and significant dental wear. • No statistically significant differences were noted between the men and women. • No significant differences were found in either lower or upper facial height between the two wear groups. • No significant differences were found in the ratio lower/upper facial height between the groups regarding dental wear. • This study suggests that dental wear does not influence the vertical dimension of occlusion.
