Prevalencia de lesiones cervicales no cariosas y presencia de hipersensibilidad. UCSG, semestre B-2019.

Abstract

Introduction: The cervical third of the tooth is very prone to non-carious lesions due to multifactorial causes that cause a loss of dental tissue and can cause dental hypersensitivity. Objectives: Establish the prevalence of non-carious cervical lesions and presence of dental hypersensitivity in patients who attend the Dental Clinic of the UCSG semester B-2019. Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 individuals who present dental pieces in the mouth and are within the age range of 18 to 60 years to determine the prevalence of non-carious cervical lesions. Results: The presence of non-carious cervical lesions occurred in 45% of the studied population, the age group from 41 to 60 years being the highest prevalence, as well as the male gender and the presence of hypersensitivity in 30% in affected teeth. Conclusion: The study and clinical diagnosis of non-carious cervical lesions is very important to establish a good treatment.
