Frecuencia de las lesiones cervicales no cariosas. Revisión bibliográfica.

Abstract

Currently there is a new perspective in reference to non-carious cervical lesions that do not have a bacterial etiology, the same that has been increased in recent years; where we observe lesions that occur at the level of the cement-enamel boundary (erosion, attrition, abrasion, and abfraction), which have a multifactorial etiology, in relation to components such as mechanical, chemical, and occlusion factors, among others. The objective of this study is to determine the frequency of non-carious cervical lesions, in individuals between 35 and 60 years of age, for which a bibliographic review of several scientific articles was carried out, within which it is observed that it predominated with 68.64 % abrasion, and it turned out to be more frequent in the age group of 30 to 44 years. It is followed by erosion in the same age group. (Manuel Alejandro Ceballos Rojas, 2019). It can be seen that the most frequent risk factor is incorrect dental brushing with 60.17%, fundamentally in the group of 30 to 44 years. It was determined that the use of horizontal brushing with hard and excessive bristles and abrasive toothpastes are responsible for the development of abrasions. In other studies, bruxism stood out as the most frequent risk factor, since 43.8% of the patients studied presented this habit; In order of frequency, they were followed by traumatic brushing and gastroesophageal disorders, with 35.3% and 30.7%, respectively.
