Etiology and Treatment of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions.
Journal Title: International Journal of Dental Science and Innovative Research (IJDSIR) - Year 2019, Vol 2, Issue 3
Abstract
Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) present loss of dental structure in the cervical region as a clinical characteristic, predisposing the patient to functional problems, aesthetic and symptoms of dentinal hypersensitivity. These lesions do not involve bacterial action and are classified as erosion, abrasion and abfraction. Considering that the severity and prevalence of NCCL tend to increase with age, early diagnosis and determination of etiology are important for the prevention and correct indication of the treatment to be performed. Thus, the objective of this literature review is to describe the etiology, diagnosis, clinical characteristics, prevention and treatment options of NCCL. It was observed that these lesions have a complex diagnosis and are a consequence of the association of more than one etiological factor, which characterizes the etiology as multifactorial. A multidisciplinary team may be necessary for the diagnosis and elimination of the causal factors prior to the restorative treatment.
