Abstract

Background and Aim: Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) are defined as any deterioration of the tooth tissue in terms of abrasion, composition, and erosion during normal and/or pathological function. The present study aimed to assess different etiological causes of cervical lesions among patients without caries in the population of Lahore, Pakistan. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was carried out on 62 patients aged 16-60 years in the Department of Dentistry of a Tertiary Care Hospital of Lahore, Pakistan from July 2022 to December 2022. Patients were categorized into two groups: Group-I (Non-carious dental lesions patients) and Group-II (without non-carious dental lesions patients). All the patients underwent clinical examinations and answered a questionnaire which included inquiries related to oral hygiene, personal impressions, eating habits, teeth appearance and functionality, and it also emphasized on the different etiologies of non-carious dental lesions.Results: Out of the total 62 patients, the study and the control groups consisted of 38 (61.3%) and 24 (38.7%) patients respectively. Age-wise distribution of the patients was as follows: 19 (30.6%) in 16-30 years, 12 (19.4%) in 31-45 years, and 31 (50%) in 46-60 years.
