Abstract

Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are commonly characterized by the loss of cervical dental tissue structure without the presence of a carious lesion. Evidence supports that NCCL has multifactorial causative factors. For selecting the appropriate treatment protocols and improving the assessment of prognosis, dentists should be aware of the NCCL characteristics and associated etiologic factors. Dental professionals use their best clinical judgment to diagnose and identify the potential contributing etiological factors that might cause NCCLs.
