Lesiones cervicales no cariosas: una revisión sistemática / Non carious cervical lesions: a systematic review

Introducción: las lesiones cervicales no cariosas (NCCL, por sus siglas en inglés) son un grupo de lesiones que afectan el área cervical del órgano dental causando hipersensibilidad dentinaria y defectos estéticos. Objetivo: analizar la literatura sobre las lesiones cervicales no cariosas, su etiología, consideraciones anatómicas, características morfológicas de la lesión y tratamientos no restaurativos. Material y métodos: se realizó una búsqueda en la base de datos PubMed, utilizando las palabras clave: non-carious cervical lesions OR noncarious cervical lesions OR tooth wear OR tooth erosion OR dental abfraction OR abfraction, recopilando un total de 78 artículos. Resultados: es necesario determinar la etiología antes de seleccionar las estrategias de tratamiento para las lesiones cervicales no cariosas. Conocer los distintos tipos de tejidos que componen al órgano dentario facilita la comprensión de los factores que participan en el desarrollo de las lesiones cervicales no cariosas. Esto permite que el tratamiento se enfoque más en la causa del problema que en los síntomas. Con esto podemos modificar diversos factores de manera interceptiva, los tratamientos de terapia con láser y compuestos tópicos son una estrategia mínimamente invasiva. Conclusiones: la mejor manera de describir a las lesiones cervicales no cariosas sería como una enfermedad multifactorial. Se debe prestar especial atención en los métodos de diagnóstico, identificando cofactores que propicien el avance de la lesión, como son la fricción y la biocorrosión. Esta revisión brinda datos que asocian a los factores oclusales como una de las principales causas de una enfermedad que afecta a más de la mitad de la población adulta (AU)

Introduction: non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) are a group of lesions that affect the cervical area of the dental organ causing dentin hypersensitivity and cosmetic defects. Objective: to know, through a systematic review, the current state of non-carious cervical lesions. Material and methods: a search was conducted in the PubMed database, using the keywords: non-carious cervical lesions OR noncarious cervical lesions OR tooth wear OR tooth erosion OR dental abfraction OR abfraction, compiling a total of 78 articles. Results: determining etiology is necessary before selecting treatment strategies for non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). Know the different types of tissues that make up the dentary organ, facilitate the understanding of the factors involved in the development of noncarious al cervical lesions. This allows treatment to focus more on the cause of the problem than on symptoms. With this we can modify various factors in an interceptive way, laser therapy treatments and topical compounds, are a minimally invasive strategy. Conclusions: the best way to describe non-carious al cervical lesions would be as a multifactorial disease to which special attention should be paid to both diagnostic methods, identifying cofactors that promote the progression of injury, such as friction and biocorrosion. This review provides data that associates occlusal factors as one of the main causes of a disease that affects more than half of the adult population (AU)

X-Ray Microtomography Analysis of Gaps and Voids in the Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions with Different Composite Resins

Context (Background): Resin composites are the most widely used material for restoring cervical defects. However, the high failure rate of these restorations is still a concern. Aims: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate, using microtomography (?CT), the interfacial gap and voids formation in Class V cavities in premolars restored with materials with lower polymerization shrinkage combined with different restorative techniques. Settings and Design: Cervical defects were created in 30 intact premolar and were randomly distributed to be restored by one of the following techniques (n = 6): Composite resin with two increments (CR), organic modified polymer (ORMOCER) with single (OR1) or two increments (OR2, or low viscosity bulk?fill composite resin with single (BF1) or two increments (BF2). Methods and Material: Each tooth was scanned before filling to determine the volume of interest (VOI) to be applied in the second ?CT after restoration and to control the cavity volume among the groups. In the ?CT after filling, the volume of interfacial gaps and voids was calculated for each group. Statistical Analysis: The groups were compared using one?way and Tukey HSD post hoc test (? = 0.05). Results: It was possible to identify higher gap formation in the OR1 group and higher void formation in CR group (P < 0.05). OR2 group showed better results than the group with one increment. BF2 showed the best filling capacity. Conclusions: It was possible to conclude that the material and the number of increments directly influenced the internal adaptation and voids formation of Class V restorations.

Clinical Effectiveness of Composite Resin Bonded with Universal Adhesive for the Restoration of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions Using Air Abrasion: A Randomised Controlled Trial

ABSTRACT @#Restorative treatment is very challenging for non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) due to functional and structural complexities. The purpose of this randomised controlled trial (RCT) was to evaluate the clinical performance of nanocomposite restorations bonded using universal adhesive in self-etch mode with and without air abrasive surface treatment for NCCLs. A total of 70 NCCLs, from a group of consenting patients who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, were recruited for the study. The study was carried out following CONSORT guidelines. Block randomisation was done for equal allocation of lesions into; Group 1 (surface treatment with alumina air abrasion) and Group 2 (control group without mechanical surface treatment). The lesions were restored with nanocomposite using a universal bonding agent in self-etch mode. The clinical performance of the restorations was evaluated by two examiners using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria at baseline, 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. A Chi-square test was performed for inter-group comparison. Cochran’s Q test and Dunn’s post hoc analysis were used for intra-group comparison. The inter-group comparison revealed no statistically significant difference between the experimental and control group for all the parameters assessed. With the intra-group analysis, it was found that there was a significant decrease in the performance of the restorations concerning marginal staining, marginal adaptation and surface texture during the evaluation period (p < 0.05). However, all of them demonstrated clinically acceptable performance. According to the results of this RCT, it was concluded that airborne particle abrasion of NCCLs did not improve the clinical performance of nanocomposite resin bonded using universal adhesive.

Restorative materials for restorations of non-carious cervical lesions: an overview

Methods: A literature review was performed using Pubmed search engine with the aim of determining the ideal restorative material for restorations of non-carious cervical lesions. Results: Beautifil II (Shofu INC.) restorative material showed satisfactory results in terms of fracture resistance, flexural strength and excellent aesthetics, in addition to components that act as anti-cariogenic, anti-plaque and oral pH balance. The Clearfil SE Bond adhesive (Kuraray NORITAKE) showed in clinical research the highest bond strength rate compared to other adhesive systems available in the dental market. Conclusion: Non-carious cervical lesions are multifactorial lesions that require the professional knowledge to conduct the treatment effectively. The Shofu Beautifil II showed the best results in fracture resistance, flexural strength and excellent aesthetics, it has anticariogenic potential, anti-plaque bacteria and contributes to the oral pH balance. The Clearfil SE Bond adhesive showed the highest retention rate among its competitors.

Relationship between presence of abfractions and premature contacts

ABSTRACT: Abfractions (AFs) are non-carious cervical lesions considered of multifactorial etiology by several authors. Objective: Relate the presence of premature contacts and AFs. Materials & Methods: The original number of students to be analyzed were 117, 36 of whom (equal amount of women and men) were finally chosen for presenting premature contacts. 19 of them presented abfractions. A survey was conducted with questions on issues like toothbrushing habits, diet and some gastric disorders; besides the participants had to take the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale. Then, stone models were obtained and mounted for further occlusal analysis with WCM ® semi-adjustable articulator searching the abfractions and their coincidence with premature contacts. Fisher's exact test (p<0,05) was used to associate AF with toothbrushing habits, diet, burning symptoms and gastroesophageal reflux. Chi-square test (p<0,05) was used to associate AFs and premature contacts. Student's t-distribution was used to associate AFs with anxiety. Results: There was a significant relationship between AFs presence and premature contacts (p=0,00). There was not a significant relationship between presence of AFs and toothbrushing habits and diet. There was not a significant relationship between presence of AFs and anxiety. Conclusions: AF presence do associate with premature contacts in the same affected tooth.

One-year evaluation of a new restorative glass ionomer cement for the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions in patients with systemic diseases: a randomized, clinical trial

Abstract Objective This randomized and clinical trial aimed to evaluate the performance of a new restorative Glass Ionomer Cement (GIC) for the restoration of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) of patients with systemic diseases compared with a posterior resin composite after 12 months. Methodology 134 restorations were placed at 30 patients presenting systemic diseases by a single clinician. NCCLs were allocated to two groups according to restorative system used: a conventional restorative GIC [Fuji Bulk (GC, Tokyo Japan) (FB)] and a posterior resin composite [G-ænial Posterior (GC, Tokyo Japan) (GP)] used with a universal adhesive using etch&rinse mode. All restorative procedures were conducted according to manufacturer's instructions. Restorations were scored regarding retention, marginal discoloration, marginal adaptation, secondary caries, surface texture, and post-operative sensitivity using modified United States Public Health Service (USPHS) criteria after 1 week (baseline), 6, and 12 months. Descriptive statistics were performed using chi-square tests. Cochran Q and Mc Nemar's tests were used to detect differences over time. Results After 12 months, recall rate was 93% and the rates of cumulative retention failure for FB and GP were 4.9% and 1.6% respectively. Both groups presented similar alpha rates for marginal adaptation (FB 86.2%, GP 95.5%) and marginal discoloration (FB 93.8%, GP 97%) at 6-month recall, but FB restorations showed higher bravo scores than GP restorations for marginal adaptation and marginal discoloration after 12 months (p<0.05). Regarding surface texture, 2 FB restorations (3.1%) were scored as bravo after 6 months. All restorations were scored as alpha for secondary caries and postoperative sensitivity after 12 months. Conclusion Although the posterior resin composite demonstrated clinically higher alpha scores than the conventional GIC for marginal adaptation and discoloration, both materials successfully restored NCCLs at patients with systematic disease after a year. Clinical relevance Due to its acceptable clinical results, the tested conventional restorative GIC can be used for the restoration of NCCLs of patients with systemic diseases.

Various therapeutic possibilities may be used in the treatment of these lesions, and it is necessary for the clinician to know the main etiological factors and clinical characteristics that differentiate them(AU)

Restorative Rehabilitation of a Patient with Generalized Non-Carious Cervical Lesions: Case Report / Rehabilitación restaurativa de un paciente con lesiones cervicales no-cariosas generalizadas: Reporte de un caso

ABSTRACT Non-Carious Cervical Lesions (NCCL) are a current problem of multifactorial origin that is associated with the loss of vertical occlusal dimension, hypersensitivity, loss of teeth, fractures, and many other pathologies that affect the masticatory function of the oral cavity. Identification of the etiological factors of NCCL comprises a key piece for the solution of the problem. Based on clinical scientific evidence related with the diagnosis, a restorative treatment must be planned according to the loss of dental structure in order to return function and aesthetics. The purpose of this case report was to describe a 54-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with generalized NCCL combined with occlusal vertical dimension loss. The protocol of the treatment process is described.

RESUMEN Las lesiones cervicales no cariosas (LCNC) son una problemática actual de origen multifactorial, la cual se ve asociada a la pérdida de dimensión vertical oclusal, hipersensibilidad, pérdida de dientes, fracturas y muchas otras patologías que afectan la función masticatoria de la cavidad bucal. La identificación de los factores etiológicos de las LCNC son piezas claves para la solución del problema. Basados en la evidencia científica clínica relacionado con el diagnóstico, se debe planificar un plan de tratamiento restaurativo que depende de la pérdida de la estructura dentaria para devolver la función y estética. El objetivo de este reporte de caso es describir a un paciente masculino de 54 años a quien se le diagnosticó LCNC generalizadas combinado con una pérdida de dimensión vertical oclusal. El protocolo de plan de tratamiento es descrito paso a paso.

Influence of the shape, materials and occlusal mode of the maxillary first premolars on stress in noncarious cervical lesions / 口腔疾病防治

Objective@#To study the stress distribution in noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs) of maxillary first premolars under the conditions of different defect shapes, restorative materials and loading directions and to analyze the effect of different conditions on the treatment of NCCLs.@*Methods @#Three-dimensional finite element models of cervical defects of the maxillary first premolar were established by oral CBCT in a healthy adult. According to the shape of the cavity bottom, the cavity was divided into two groups: acute angle and obtuse angle. In addition to healthy dental controls, defects in each group were simulated and virtually treated with three kinds of restorative materials (glass ionomer cement, Z350 resin and bulk resin) as research objects. Four kinds of loads (normal occlusal vertical load, normal occlusal lateral load, traumatic occlusal vertical and lateral load) were applied. The lateral load of occlusion was 100 N, and the stress distribution in the prosthesis was analyzed.@*Results @#Under the condition with different cavity types that the NCCL near the pulp line was sharp, the stress in the wedge-shaped defect repair material was concentrated and significantly higher than that in the other obtuse groups. Under the condition with different repair materials, in the bottom of the acute cavity, the glass ionomer cement showed less stress than the two kinds of resin. The maximum stress in the prosthetic material in the traumatic occlusion state was significantly higher than that in the normal occlusion state, and the lateral load was more concentrated than the vertical load on the neck defect.@*Conclusion @#The stress in maxillary first premolar NCCLs is affected by the shape of the cavity and the loading direction. A simulated acute cavity morphology and traumatic force mode produced concentrated stress in the material used to repair the NCCL. Before restoration, the bottom of an acute cavity should be adjusted to an obtuse angle. After treatment, the bite of the affected tooth adjusts over time to reduce traumatic occlusion, which is beneficial for improving the service life of the filling material.

Recessões gengivais associadas a lesões cervicais não cariosas: uma revisão sobre o tratamento multidisciplinar / Gingival recessions associated with non-carious cervical lesions: a review on the multidisciplinary treatment

Frequentemente, as recessões gengivais (RG) estão associadas a lesões cervicais não cariosas (LCNC), defi nidas como a perda de estrutura dentária ao longo da margem gengival do dente, com a distinta característica de presença de tecido duro mineralizado em contraste com o tecido carioso. A partir de um ponto de vista topográfi co, a LCNC pode envolver apenas a coroa do dente (esmalte e/ou dentina coronal) ou somente a superfície radicular (cemento e/ou dentina radicular), ou pode localizar-se tanto na coroa como na raiz exposta. As principais indicações para o tratamento da LCNC são: 1) estética; 2) hipersensibilidade dentinária; 3) desenvolvimento de cáries; 4) acúmulo de biofi lme. Os procedimentos envolvem o tratamento restaurador e/ou cirúrgico, a depender do tipo de LCNC. Quando a LCNC atinge apenas a coroa do dente, o tratamento restaurador é mais indicado, enquanto uma lesão confi nada à raiz pode ser tratada preferencialmente com cirurgia plástica periodontal. Porém, a realidade clínica é geralmente complexa, o que torna o tratamento combinado mais favorável para certos casos. Portanto, o objetivo desse artigo foi realizar uma revisão da literatura concernente ao tratamento de recessões gengivais associadas a lesões cervicais não cariosas.

Often, gingival recessions (GR) are associated with non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL), defi ned as the loss of tooth structure along the gingival margin of the tooth, with the distinctive feature of the presence of mineralized hard tissue, in contrast to the carious tissue. From a topographical point of view, NCCL may involve only the tooth crown (enamel and/or coronal dentin) or only the root surface (cementum and/or radicular dentin) or can be located both in the crown and exposed root. The main indications for the treatment of NCCL are: 1) aesthetic; 2) dentine hypersensitivity; 3) development of caries; 4) biofi lm formation. The procedures involve restorative treatment and/or surgery depending on the type of NCCL. When NCCL is located exclusively at the tooth crown, the restorative treatment is best suited while a lesion located at the root surface should be treated preferably with periodontal plastic surgery. However, clinical reality is often complex, which makes the combination treatment more favorable for some cases. Therefore, the aim of this article is to review the literature concerning the treatment of gingival recession associated with non-carious cervical lesions.

Are non-carious cervical lesions more frequent in sleep bruxism patients? / Lesões cervicais não cariosas são mais frequentes em pacientes com bruxismo do sono?

Objective: to verify the frequency in non-carious lesions in patients with and without sleep bruxism and to try to list the occurrence of such lesions in patients with this parafunctional habit. Material and Methods: 67 patients ranging from 18 to 70 years of age, which all signed a free and consent form were evaluated. Patients with neurological diseases and/or partially or totally edentulous were excluded from the study. Bruxism diagnosis was performed using a validated questionnaire based on the combination of at least two positive confirmations of bruxism. Diagnosis of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) was performed by a single calibrated examiner, using #5 clinical probe, intraoral mirror and air flow, analyzing all surfaces of the teeth present in the mouth. The lesions were classified as abfraction, abrasion or erosion. Statistical analysis was performed by U MannWhitney test, at 5% level of significance. Results: sixty patients were diagnosed with bruxism (91.3%) and only seven patients (8.7%) did not present this parafuctional habit. Regardless the gender, five patients (10.1%) presented absence of lesions and 62 patients (89.9%) presented some NCCL. 70% presented abfraction, 41% abrasion and no patient presented erosion. Statistical analysis showed a p-value of 0.03, which demonstrated significant statistical difference of NCCL between the groups. Conclusion: a higher frequency of NCCL in patients with bruxism was observed when compared to patients without this parafuction. (AU)

Essas foram classificadas em abfração, abrasão ou erosão. A análise estatística foi realizada pelo teste U de Mann-Whitney para tratamento estatístico com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: sessenta pacientes foram diagnosticados com bruxismo (91,3%) e apenas sete pacientes (8,7%) não possuíam esse hábito parafuncional. Independente do gênero, cinco pacientes (10,1%) possuíam ausência e sessenta e dois pacientes (89,9%) possuíam presença de alguma LCNC. 70% possuíam abfração, 41% abrasão e nenhum paciente apresentou erosão. O teste estatístico obteve um p-valor igual a 0,03; demostrando uma diferença estatisticamente significativa da presença de LCNC entre os grupos. Conclusão: nota-se que houve uma maior frequência de LCNC em pacientes com bruxismo em comparação ao grupo que não apresentou essa parafunção. (AU)

Distribuição de tensões em um modelo tridimensional de canino e pré-molares superiores sob diferentes carregamentos oclusais: análise pelo método de elementos finitos / Stress distribution in a three-dimensional model of canine and premolars superiors under different occlusal loads: analysis by finite element method

O objetivo desse estudo foi analisar, por meio do Método de Elementos Finitos, a distribuição de tensões na estrutura dentária, no ligamento periodontal (LP) e no osso alveolar em um modelo tridimensional do canino (23), primeiro (24) e segundo pré-molares superiores (25) submetidos à ação de cargas axiais e oblíquas. Além disso, objetivou-se avaliar a influência do ponto de contato proximal na distribuição das tensões no modelo de três dentes (M1), comparado a um modelo unitário do 24 (M2). As propriedades mecânicas bem como as condições de contorno e carregamento foram determinadas no programa de elementos finitos Ansys®. Cargas axiais e oblíquas foram aplicadas nas seguintes simulações: C1) Carga axial nos contatos A e B no dente 24; C2) Contato excêntrico no dente 24; C3) Carga oblíqua de 45N, com inclinação de 45o no contato A do dente 24; C4) Carga oblíqua de 45N, com inclinação de 45o no contato B do dente 24; C5) Cargas axiais simultâneas, de 70N na ponta de cúspide do dente 23, 90N nos contatos A e B do dente 24 e de 105N nos contaos A e B do dente 25. Para estimar a possibilidade de falha no esmalte, as tensões máximas principais foram analisadas e deformações máximas e mínimas principais foram analisadas no LP e no osso alveolar, sendo que ambos foram comparados a valores encontrados em outros estudos com metodologia similar. Em C1, a distribuição de tensões foi mais favorável para as estruturas dente-LP-osso, com picos de tensões semelhantes em M1 e M2. Em C2, tensões deslocaramse para apical, devido ao contato entre os dentes 24 e 23 em M1; os picos de tensões foram maiores em M1 do que em M2 no esmalte e no osso e o inverso ocorreu na dentina e no LP. Em C3, tensões de tração concentraram-se na região cervical do esmalte e na furca do dente 24; os picos das tensões no esmalte, osso e LP foram menores em M1 comparado a M2, mas na dentina ocorreu o contrário (M1>M2). Em C4, ocorreu o maior pico de tensão de tração no esmalte, tensões de tração concentraram-se na furca do dente 24; esmalte e dentina comportaram-se de forma similar (M1>M2) e osso e LP também (M1˂M2). Em C5, tensões de tração se concentraram no osso alveolar do dente 23. Os contatos proximais em M1 permitiram a distribuição das tensões de forma mais homogênea para o LP e osso que em M2. Exceto em C1, a distribuição de tensões no esmalte cervical, na dentina, no LP e no osso alveolar diferiram em um modelo unitário comparado a um de três dentes, devido à presença dos contatos proximais.

The direction, type and magnitude of loads on the oclusal surface and also the characteristics of the support structures determines the stress distribution. The aim of this study was to analyze, by the finite element method, the stress distribution on the first superior premolar, in a tridimensional (3D) model subjected to various types of loadings considering the enamel anisotropic or isotropic. The geometric modeling was performed based on a computed tomography (CT) scan. The mechanical properties as well as the loading conditions determined by the Abaqus® finite element program. Axial and oblique loads were applied on the occlusal surface of the first superior premolar in the following conditions: I) 30N axial load applied simultaneously on the occlusal contacts A and B and in the mesial marginal ridge, totaling 90N; II) 90N axial load in the mesial longitudinal edge of the lingual cusp, simulating eccentric contact; III) 45N oblique load with a 45o inclination on theocclusal contact A; IV) 45N oblique load with a 45o inclination on the occlusal contact B. To estimate the possibility of failure in the simulated structures, the maximum principal stress were analyzed and compared to known tensile strength values of the tissues studied. The results showed compression stress on the side in which the load was applied and tensile stress on the opposite side. Tensile stress concentrates mainly in the cervical region of the tooth and in the alveolar insertion bone. Anisotropic models revealed areas of tensile stress concentration smaller than the isotropic models. It was concluded that the isotropic 3D models were suitable for analyzing the stress distribution in teeth, because they are less complex models to build and produced similar results compared to the anisotropic models. The cervical enamel seems to be more susceptible to fracture because of the largest stress concentration on this area, associated with its composition and anatomical characteristics

Effect of Pre-treatment with Chlorhexidine on the Retention of Restorations: A Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of chlorhexidine (CHX) application on etched dentin on the 6-month retention of restorations placed on non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs). A randomized controlled split-mouth and triple blind trial was carried out. Patients (n=42) with at least two non-carious cervical lesions were included. NCCLs were randomly assigned to two groups: control (placebo solution) or test group (2% CHX solution for 60 s after acid etching and before the adhesive application). Class V restorations (n=169) were performed with an etch-and-rinse adhesive system and composite resin by 10 trained operators. A calibrated examiner evaluated the restorations at 1 week (baseline) and at 6 months using the FDI criteria. The primary outcome was retention of the restorations. The analysis of factors associated to failure of restorations was carried out by Fisher's exact test (α=0.05). After 6 months of follow-up, 3.4% (CI 95% 1.3-7.3) of the restorations failed. There was no statistically significant difference between control and CHX (p=0.920). Regarding the cavity variables, deeper (p=0.04), wider (p=0.004) and wedge-shaped (p=0.033) cavities failed more. Both treatments provided acceptable clinical performance of the restorations. The use of CHX as a adjuvant in dentin adhesion did not influence the retention of Class V restorations after 6 months of follow-up.

O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da aplicação de clorexidina (CRX) em dentina condicionada na retenção de restaurações confeccionadas em lesões cervicais não-cariosas (LCNC) após 6 meses. Ensaio clínico randomizado triplo cego do tipo boca dividida foi conduzido. Pacientes (n=42) com no mínimo duas LCNC foram incluídos. LCNC foram randomizadas em dois grupos: controle (solução placebo) ou grupo teste (aplicação de CRX 2% por 60 s após o condicionamento e antes da aplicação do adesivo). Restaurações Classe V (n=169) foram realizadas com adesivo de condicionamento ácido total e resina composta, por 10 operadores treinados. Um examinador calibrado avaliou as restaurações após 1 semana (base) e 6 meses usando os critérios da FDI. O desfecho primário foi retenção das restaurações. A análise dos fatores associados à falha das restaurações foi conduzida com Teste Exato de Fisher (α=0,05). Após 6 meses de acompanhamento, 3,4% (IC 95% 1,3-7,3) das restaurações falharam. Não houve diferença estatística entre os grupos CRX e controle (p=0,920). Com relação às variáveis das cavidades, cavidades mais profundas (p=0,024), largas (p=0,004) e em formato de cunha (p=0,033) falharam mais. Ambos os tratamentos (CRX e controle) proporcionaram performance clínica aceitável das restaurações. O uso de CRX como coadjuvante na adesão à dentina não influenciou a retenção das restaurações Classe V após 6 meses de acompanhamento. .

Absence of Non-Carious Cervical Lesions (NCCLs) in a Chilean Pre-Columbian Sample with Severe Occlusal Tooth Wear / Ausencia de Lesiones Cervicales no Cariosas (NCCLs) en una Muestra Chilena Precolombina con Severo Desgaste Oclusal

This study evaluates the non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) and the occlusal tooth wear in a pre-Columbian sample (n= 67, adults) from San Pedro de Atacama (North of Chile, 400-1300 BCE). The cervical regions of tooth were observed for loss of enamel and/or dentine in order to identify them as NCCLs and the tooth wear was characterized by the Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE) index. None of the individuals analyzed presented NCCLs, whereas the 98.5% (66/67) of them showed occlusal wear. The mean BEWE index was 2.5, indicating severe dental wear (3 being the highest possible score of BEWE). This lack of relation among severe tooth wear and NCCLs gives support to the idea of loss of crown height reduces cervical stress and develop of NCCLs in archaeological populations.

Este estudio evalúa las lesiones cervicales no cariosas (NCCLs) y el desgaste dental oclusal en una muestra precolombina (n= 67, adultos) de San Pedro de Atacama (Norte de Chile, 400-1300 AEC). Se analizó la perdida de esmalte y/o dentina en las áreas cervicales de los dientes con el propósito de identificarlas como NCCLs y el desgaste dental fue evaluado según el índice Basic Erosive Wear Examination (BEWE). Ninguno de los individuos analizados presentó NCCLs, mientras el 98,5% (66/67) de ellos mostró desgaste oclusal. El promedio del índice BEWE fue de 2,5, indicando severo desgaste dental (siendo 3 el puntaje más alto posible). La falta de relación entre severo desgaste dental y NCCLs apoya la idea que la pérdida de altura de las coronas reduce el estrés cervical y el desarrollo de NCCLs en poblaciones arqueológicas.
