“…There are typically three distinct types of cervical lesion: Erosion, abrasion, and abfraction, and these are relatively difficult to distinguish clinically. [8,9] The prevalence of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) ranges from 5% to 85% depending on the various studies that have been carried out around the world. [10] In sub-Saharan Africa, it is in Senegal that Faye et al already reported a prevalence of NCCL of 17.10% in 2005.…”

Objectives: This work sought to study the prevalence of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) in a Burkinabe population consulting at the Municipal Oral Health Center of Ouagadougou. Material and Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study. It was carried out between August 1, 2020, and October 31, 2020. The study population consisted of all adult patients regardless of the reason for consultation. The diagnoses of abrasion, erosion, and abfraction were based on the morphology of the clinical forms of each of these lesions as already described in the literature. Results: During the study period, 595 patients were examined and 82 of them had at least one NCCL, for an overall prevalence of 13.8%. Abrasion lesions were the encountered the most (47.4%), followed by abfractions (27.1%) and erosions diagnosed in 25.5% of cases. Conclusion: NCCLs are pathologies of the neck of the tooth that is of great concern both in terms their clinical and etiological diagnosis as well as their therapy. The prevalence reported in this study is of importance to all oral health professionals, who need to be well aware that NCCL is increasingly a major reason for seeking care.

“…Attrition is the most common and is predominantly seen in people of old age due to excessive wear and tear during mastication throughout their lifetime (Shafer et al, 1983;Regezi et al, 2016). Whereas the other causes such as abrasion and erosion are less commonly observed (Goldstein, 2018). Tooth surface loss can also be attributed to developmental anomalies such as amelogenesis or dentinogenesis Imperfecta which has malformed teeth naturally and is more susceptible to tooth loss.…”

The best treatment option available for treating any generalised tooth structure loss is to undergo full mouth rehabilitation. Full mouth rehabilitation aims at restoration of form and function of masticatory apparatus to nearly as normal condition as possible. The aim of the study was to report on the gender distribution and most common cause for full mouth rehabilitation among patients with FMR in a private dental college over six months of period. A retrospective study was done using the case records of patients visiting University hospital from June 2019 - March 2020. Case sheets with information on full mouth rehabilitation were retrieved and analysed using SPSS 20.0 software. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were performed. The results reported that there were no particular differences in gender distribution. Both females and males had equal predilection(50 % - males, 50 % - Females).Majority of the males who are diagnosed with FMR were in the age group 59 to 68 years whereas females diagnosed with FMR were in the age group 49 to 58 years which was found to be statistically significant as determined by chi-square tests(p value< 0.05).The most common reason in males for full mouth rehabilitation was attrition whereas in females multiple missing teeth, however, there was no significant association between the genders and cause of full mouth rehabilitation as determined by Pearson's chi-square test (p value> 0.05). Within the limits of the study, it can be concluded that Full mouth rehabilitation was done in both genders equally and females underwent FMR at a much younger age than males.
