Abstract
The influence of several experimental parameters on the sliding-wear behavior of a composite restorative has been examined. The results demonstrate that: 1) Changes in surface finish and sliding velocity have little effect on the moderate wear-rate observed at nominal levels of stress, and 2) increased contact stress can profoundly alter wear mechanisms and produce marked surface failure at levels well within the range associated with human mastication.Keywords
