Abstract	:	In this study, the Scott method (1979) of scoring occlusal molar quadrant wear was revised in order to obtain more detailed information regarding molar wear patterns. This was achieved by associating numbered molar quadrants with specific molar cusps rather than visually dividing the occlusal surface into quadrants, as advocated by the original Scott method. The molars examined were excavated at Tell er-Rub'a (ancient Mendes), Lower Egypt, and date from the Old Kingdom to the Graeco-Roman Period (ca. 3200 B.C. to ca. A.D. 395). Molars were also scored using the Smith (1984) method. Regression equations were then created to determine whether Smith wear scores could be transformed into averaged Scott quadrant wear scores, and vice versa, using the same molar sample.
