title: [The mechanical models of the physiology of teeth].
abstract: Based on the universal laws of mechanics and physical chemistry, physiology build mechanical models of teeth, which allowed to explain the role of mastication in the mechanism of demineralization and remineralization of hard tissues of teeth and asymmetry of erasing their working surfaces. In the process of chewing capillary and baric effects contribute to changes in calcium and phosphorus on the working side of the tooth, reaching 30% for any chemical composition of food. Erasing the working surfaces of lower teeth contributes to their specific role in the mechanical and chemical mechanisms of degradation of food due to the mobility of the mandible.
