Abstract
The various components of attrition compensated for each other so that the sum total remained the same under the varying experimental conditions indicating that the eruptive process is a primary factor, and attrition has to remove the extruded tooth substance for the survival of the individual. Semi-starvation had no effect on the rates of eruption or attrition of the rat incisors.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
