external tooth
3.The results showed that the fracture of the tooth-razor was brittle fracture, the material quality was normal, the main fracture reson was that the carbide in the microstructure of the tooth-razor was distributed as reticulation, the brittleness of the razor was increased and the toughness was decreased, so the tooth of the razor was broken by external force when it was working.
6.In recent years, much attention was paid to the aetiology of tooth wear, however, most of researches focused on the epidemiologic investigation and some external causing factors (such as erosion by acidic substance, abrasion by solid granules, and the effect of some systematic diseases or drugs, and etc).
