Critical review of noncarious cervical lesions

As aging progresses, there is tooth destruction in the cervical portion of the tooth not possibly due to carious process. This may be attributed to either abrasion, erosion or abfraction or a combination. The etiology, extent, and clinical view of these lesions vary, and it is a challenge to the clinician to identify the cause and decide proper restorative materials and treatment plan for each type of lesion.
