Primates with more abrasive diets have relatively higher molar pulp volume in their unworn molars than those with less abrasive diets. We propose that species with more abrasive diets deposit additional dentine across their lifespans to help resist wear and extend the effective lifespan of their molars. Whereas both age and wear affect dentine deposition, it is unknown which of these two variables has the greater impact.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We measured pulp volume and calculated wear from micro\u2010CT scans of lower first molars of captive\u2010bred <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"><jats:italic>Macaca fascicularis<\/jats:italic><\/jats:styled-content> (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200913) of known age.

A mixed linear model of pulp volume against wear as main effect and age as covariant had a non\u2010significant interaction effect (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.078) and confirmed that both age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.030) and wear (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.004) are significantly negatively correlated with pulp volume.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Results suggest that whereas pulp volume decreases with age, wear is more strongly correlated with decreasing pulp volume.
