Noncarious cervical lesions are defined as any gradual loss of tooth structure characterized bythe formation of smooth, polished surfaces, irrespective of their etiology. In these, loss of toothstructure occurs due to other lesions rather than caries. Noncarious cervical lesions can also bedescribed as ‘wasting disease of the teeth’. These lesions include abrasion, erosion andabfraction. These can occur pathologically, though they are seen in general associated with theaging process. These may show independently or simultaneously. These are usually seen in morethan 50 percent of the population. Noncarious cervical lesions cannot be referred asinflammatory lesions or developmental abnormalities but considered as regressive alteration ofthe teeth. The clinical picture of these lesions can vary from shallow grooves to broad scoopedout lesions, to large notched or wedge shaped defects. Improper diagnosis and thus treatmentcan cause continuous loss of tooth structure, dentin hypersensitivity, pulpal involvement or eventhe loss of tooth. The recent studies have shown improvements in the field of understandingetiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these lesions.
① Noncarious cervical lesions are defined as any gradual loss of tooth structure characterized by the formation of smooth, polished surfaces, irrespective of their etiology. ① Etkene bakılmaksızın, düzgün ve cilalı yüzeylerin oluşumuyla karakterize edilen, diş dokusunun yavaş yavaş kaybı olarak tanımlanırlar.
② In these, loss of tooth structure occurs due to other lesions rather than caries. ② Bu lezyonlarda diş dokusu kaybı çürük dışı nedenlere bağlı olarak meydana gelir.
③ Noncarious cervical lesions can also be described as ‘wasting disease of the teeth’. ③ Çürüksüz servikal lezyonlar, dişlerin "aşındırıcı hastalığı" olarak da tanımlanabilir.
④ These lesions include abrasion, erosion and abfraction. ④ Bu lezyonlar aşınma (abrasion), erozyon (erosion) ve abfraksiyonu (abfraction) içerir.
⑤ These can occur pathologically, though they are seen in general associated with the aging process. ⑤ Bu lezyonlar patolojik olarak meydana gelebilir ancak genellikle yaşlanma süreciyle ilişkilidir.
⑥ These may show independently or simultaneously. ⑥ Bu lezyonlar tek başına ya da aynı anda bir arada görülebilir.
⑦ These are usually seen in more than 50 percent of the population. ⑦ Bu lezyonlar genellikle toplumun %50’sinden fazlasında görülür.
⑧ Noncarious cervical lesions cannot be referred as inflammatory lesions or developmental abnormalities but considered as regressive alteration of the teeth. ⑧ Çürüksüz servikal lezyonlar, inflamatuar lezyonlar veya gelişimsel anormallikler olarak değil; dişlerin gerileyici (regresif) değişimi olarak kabul edilir.
⑨ The clinical picture of these lesions can vary from shallow grooves to broad scooped out lesions, to large notched or wedge shaped defects. ⑨ Bu lezyonların klinik görünümü, yüzeyel oluklardan geniş oyuklara, büyük çentikli veya kama şeklindeki defektlere kadar değişebilir.
⑩ Improper diagnosis and thus treatment can cause continuous loss of tooth structure, dentin hypersensitivity, pulpal involvement or even the loss of tooth. ⑩ Yanlış tanı ve buna bağlı yanlış tedavi, sürekli diş dokusu kaybı, dentin hassasiyeti, pulpa tutulumu hatta diş kaybına yol açabilir.
⑪ The recent studies have shown improvements in the field of understanding etiology, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of these lesions. ⑪ Son çalışmalar bu lezyonların etiyolojisinin anlaşılması, tanısı, tedavisi ve önlenmesi konusunda ilerlemeler göstermiştir.
