Erosion, abrasion, and attrition have been associated with this disorder. Objective: Recently, occlusal stress causing of cervical enamel cracks (abfraction) has been considered as an additional etiology for NCCLs to facilitate the erosion and abrasion mechanisms in tooth wear. Study Design: The prevalence of NNCLs and wear facets in a population with permanent dentition in absence of any clear etiological factors related to erosion and abrasion causes is evaluated. A total 295 subjects are enrolled for this study and divided into four age groups (subjects aged 15 - 27 years, 28 - 42 years, 43 - 57 years and 58 - 75 years respectively). An overall of 6629 teeth are investigated to find NCCLs and wear facets. The occlusion is analyzed in each patient. Results: An overall of 801 teeth (12%) show NCCLs and 623 of them (78%) highlight also wear facets. The higher number of teeth with NCCLs and of these with simultaneous presence also of wear facets are found on teeth of patients of group-3 (11% of all teeth examined for group and 81% respectively) and to group-4 (24.4% of all teeth examined for group and 86.5% respectively) of remaining teeth without NCCLs (5828) only 138 (2.4%) shown wear facets. Conclusion: The results of this study held the occlusal forces as the main cause of NCCLs on teeth in presence of wear facets.展开更多

The present study aims to investigate the presence and types of NCCLs associated with bruxism. Retrospective keywords search of the clinical notes of all patient charts in axiUmTM was performed using the terms “bruxism”, “attrition”, “abrasion”, “erosion”, and “abfraction”. All bruxer patients 18 years and older who presented to the UNLV School of Dental Medicine (01/01/2014 to 09/30/2018) with the complete record were included. To determine the statistical analysis implications, the chi-square test was used. Commonest types of NCCL associated with bruxism were attrition and abfraction. Five hundred seventeen cases had multifactorial lesions. Anterior maxillary teeth followed by mandibular anterior were the most affected teeth. Abfraction lesions were mainly sighted in maxillary premolars, followed by maxillary canines. Within the limitation of the present investigation, it was concluded that attrition and abfraction were highly associated with bruxism.展开更多
