The Role of Occlusal Factors in the Presence of Noncarious Cervical Lesions in Young People: A Case-Control Study.

Objective:: The aim of this retrospective case-control study was to evaluate the influence of different occlusal characteristics and self-referred bruxism in the presence of noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs).

Methods And Materials:: The participants were 280 students (140 cases and 140 controls), with an average age of 24.5 years, from six schools of dentistry in Spain.

Non-carious cervical lesions and risk factors: A case-control study.

Objectives: To evaluate whether the presence of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) was related to the considered risk factors and to show the corresponding odds ratio in a predictive model.

Methods: The sample was 280 dentistry students. In an initial clinical examination, 140 cases were selected that presented one or more teeth with non-carious cervical wear.
