title: Wear rates of composites, an amalgam, and enamel under stress-bearing conditions.
abstract: This article describes an in vitro technique that, within in a few days, can predict the long-term occlusal wear of composites. The laboratory data of our study and the clinical observations of various authors correlate well. For 19 different products, the wear relative to an amalgam under stress-bearing conditions is given within statistically justified boundaries.
