人们已经研究了牙齿变尖的证据，并得出结论，没有证据表明有一种独立于咀嚼功能的后牙变尖机制，可以提高咀嚼功能的效率。前牙变尖可能在某些物种中作为一种行为活动发生，但不接受这种变尖是为了生产新的切割武器，而不是为了改进现有的切割武器。犬齿状武器，或者更有效的食物处理工具。Thegosis（来自希腊语，thego磨或锐化）是一个术语，可以用来描述在特定的社会背景驱动的情况下前牙的锐化。压力被认为是非咀嚼性牙齿与牙齿接触的原因，因为过度的牙齿研磨和咬合是病理性的和压力相关的。磨牙症和病理性thegosis建议同义词为这种活动。
The evidence for tooth sharpening has been examined and it has been concluded that there is no evidence for a posterior tooth sharpening mechanism which is independent of masticatory function and improves the efficiency of that function.Anterior tooth sharpening may occur in some species as behavioural activity but it is not accepted that this sharpening is directed towards the production of new incisiform weapons as distinct from the improvement of existing caniniform weapons, or more efficient tools for the manipulation of food. Thegosis (from the Greek, thego to whet or sharpen) is a term which could be used to describe the sharpening of anterior teeth under specific often socially context driven situations. Stress is accepted as a cause of non-masticatory tooth to tooth contact as is the suggestion that excessive tooth grinding and clenching is pathological and stress related. Bruxism and pathological thegosis are suggested synonymous terms for this activity.
