Since dental materials are worn down over time and eventually need to be replaced. Resin composites are frequently employed as dental restorative materials. By employing the in-vitro test findings of the pin-on-disc tribometer [ASTM G99-04], the goal of this study is to evaluate the capability of three different machine learning (ML) models in analyzing the wear of dental composite materials when immersed in chewable tobacco solution. Four distinct dental composite material samples are used in this investigation, and after being dipped in a chewing tobacco solution for a few days, the samples are taken out and subjected to a wear test. Three different ML models (MLP, KNN, XGBoost) have been chosen for predicting the wear of dental composite specimens. XGBoost ML model yields an R2 value of 0.9996 and it performs noticeably better than the other approaches.
