Objectives This narrative review determines the effects of occlusal trauma and excessive
occlusal forces on the periodontium, including the initiation and progression of periodontitis …

Purpose To synthesize the literature regarding noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) and
propose clinical guidelines when lesion restoration is indicated. Material and methods A …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors associated with noncarious
cervical lesions (NCCLs), cervical dentin hypersensitivity (CDH), and gingival recession …

Non‐carious cervical lesions involve loss of hard tissue and, in some instances, restorative
material at the cervical third of the crown and subjacent root surface, through processes …

Background: Abfraction is a loss of tooth structure along the gingival margin and manifests
with different clinical appearances. It has multifactorial etiology and may occur due to normal …

Abfraction (AF) is the pathological loss of tooth substance caused by biomechanical loading
forces that result in flexure and failure of enamel and dentin at a location away from the …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are a frequent challenge
in clinical dental practice, given the variety of opinions regarding their etiology, diagnosis …

OBJECTIVE: It is still largely unknown as to what material parameter requirements would be
most suitable to minimise the fracture and maximising the retention rate of the restoration of …

Objectives To test the hypothesis that restoration of class II mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD)
cavities can be strengthened through judicious choice of restoration geometry and material …

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM: Occlusal load has frequently been suggested to be involved in
the development of a noncarious cervical lesion (NCL). However, there is a lack of clinical …
