A method for assessing the relative abrasion of prophylaxis materials is described. The method utilizes irradiated human enamel and dentin specimens, and treatments are performed using a simulated prophylaxis procedure. Results obtained with this method indicate that variations in treatment time, load, and cup speed may influence the relative abrasion.
