Asociación del bruxismo con lesiones cervicales no cariosas : revisión sistemática.

Abstract

Background: Non-carious cervical lesions present more frequently; it is necessary to study them in detail to understand their relationship with bruxism. Objective: To determine if there is an association between bruxism and non-carious cervical lesions Materials and methods: The following research work is a systematic review with a qualitative, retrospective and longitudinal approach with a non-experimental explanatory research design. The keywords used for this research were: non-carious cervical lesions, bruxism, erosion, abrasion, abfraction, stress and sensitivity.A search was carried out through the search engines Pubmed, academic Google and the virtual library of the Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil. From which relationship between bruxism and non-carious cervical lesions were analized. Results: It can be stated that the most prevalent non-carious cervical lesion in bruxism is abfraction. In some cases, there is a prevalence of tooth sensitivity and the premolars are more frequently affected. Lesions manifest in patients over 45 years old, especially in men. Conclusion: Non-carious cervical lesions surely have a multifactorial etiology that requires the interaction of multiple risk factors. Healthcare professionals must be aware of the impact stress can have on dental and overall health in order to provide approaches to stress management as well as options for treating bruxism.
