The prevalence of non‐carious cervical lesions in permanent dentition

Abstract: A non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) is the loss of hard dental tissue on the neck of the tooth, most frequently located on the vestibular plane. Causal agents are diverse and mutually interrelated.In the present study all vestibular NCCL were observed and recorded by the tooth wear index (TWI). The aim of the study was to determine the prevalence and severity of NCCL. For this purpose, 18 555 teeth from the permanent dentition were examined in a population from the city of Rijeka, Croatia. Subjects were divid… Show more

“…The prevalence of lesions that had progressed to pulp exposure was low (5.7%). Similar findings were reported by Borcic et al (26), who found that most NCCLs were lower-grade lesions. The prevalence of severe lesions progressing to pulp exposure was very low.…”

“…24 The overall occurrence of abrasion in the present study is in favor with the Croatian study where tooth wear is 60 to 70% and the prevalence and severity appeared to increase with age. 30 This finding is also supported by two other studies among adult population in Turkey and the The present study reveals comparatively high prevalence could be attributed to widespread ignorance due to low level of education and low per capita income. Use of cheap and low grade materials for oral hygiene maintenance by the residents.…”

“…Cervical wear is a multifactorial process concluded by most of the studies similar findings are reflected in this study too. 10,20,21,26,29,30 Cervical abrasion is a common condition distribution of the subjects according to gender does not show any discernible divergence and is statistically insignificant. 16,17,32,33 Current study also shows abrasion is evenly disseminated between both the genders.…”
