The way wear goes: phytolith-based wear on the dentine–enamel system in guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus)

The effect of phytoliths on tooth wear and function has been contested in studies of animal–plant interactions. For herbivores whose occlusal chewing surface consists of enamel ridges and dentine tissue, the phytoliths might particularly erode the softer dentine, exposing the enamel ridges to differ...
