Estudo das características e dos fatores de risco de lesões cervicais não cariosas em serviços de oclusão na Paraíba

Abstract

The objective of this study to verify the characteristics and risk factors related to the development of non-carious cervical lesions on Services of Occlusion in Paraiba. Through a quantitative, cross-sectional, observational and prospective study evaluated 88 patients of both sexes, females (63.6%) and male (36.4%) between 18 and 71 years with a mean age of 31 years, in services of occlusion of the cities of João Pessoa and Campina Grande. Clinical evaluations were performed to observe the characteristics and diagnose risk factors (abrasive, erosive and occlusal) of non-carious cervical lesions. Through descriptive analysis and non-parametric, 5% significance level and 95% confidence interval. There was a prevalence of 65.90% of patients with lesions, and 461 teeth affected by the same. The group of premolars was the hardest hit by lesions, which are frequently presented in the study on the facial surface, rounded, supragengival and index of tooth wear with degree 1. Gender was not associated with the presence of lesions, whereas age was statistically significant (p <0.001) for the presence of these. Consumption of fruits, unilateral mastication, occlusal interferences in maximum intercuspation and hand no-work were considered risk factors for the development of these lesions. The non-carious cervical lesions have a multifactorial etiology, exposure to risk factors, over time, promotes their development.
