Abstract
⺠Aim of this study was to analyze friction and wear on human enamel during cleaning. ⺠The system was successfully reduced to the contact of a toothbrush filament and enamel. ⺠The setup allows to correlate friction and wear effects with topography changes on enamel. ⺠The setup is able to provide information on abrasion properties of toothpastes. ⺠Friction and wear are induced by the trapping of toothpaste particles during sliding.
