Objectives: To design and validate a new index to assess tooth wear (TW) in the cervical region and its association with gingival recession (GR), for use both in research studies and as resource in General Dental Practice, with focused prevention and management strategies particularly related to aetiology of dentine hypersensitivity provided for each Code score.Methods: Codes to reflect clinical presentations of the cervical region in health and disease recording both TW and GR were defined. Validation of the Code was undertaken by 3 trained examiners who scored buccal and lingual surfaces of eligible teeth in 42 adult healthy volunteers.Each volunteer underwent 4 identical clinical examinations, being assessed twice by the examiner who performed the first and last exam.
