Replication data for a study on the influence of posterior support on tooth wear in an adult Trinidadian population. The dataset contains categorical data from a basic erosive wear examination and uses the Eichner index to measure loss of posterior occlusal support. It was authored by Shivaughn Marchan and last updated on March 25, —.
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between posterior tooth support and anterior tooth wear based on the Eichner index.
- Study the prevalence of erosive tooth wear patterns in an adult population based on the Basic Erosive Wear Examination.
- Investigate the clinical concept of the shortened dental arch and its association with occlusal support reduction.
Strengths
- Data is explicitly described as replication data for a published study, implying a research context.
- Last updated on March 25, —, indicating recent maintenance on the Dataverse platform.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data may reflect geographic bias inherent to its focus on a Trinidadian population.
