Abstract
Background. The factors that induce the formation of noncarious lesions are not yet fully understood, particularly those
that are related to occlusal aspects. This study evaluates the prevalence of noncarious cervical lesions in adults and their
association with occlusal aspects. Methods. 70 people (35 men and 35 women) aged 25 to 45 years were examined in
order to determine the presence and type of noncarious cervical lesions, wear facets, tooth contacts in maximal
intercuspal positions, and lateral and protrusive movements. The assessment involved a questionnaire and a clinical
examination. Results. Among the teeth evaluated, 17.23 percent had cervical lesions, 80.23 percent had wear facets
(P<.01). A significant relationship was found between the prevalence of noncarious cervical lesions and the presence of
wear facets (P=.0484). Conclusion. This study found that cervical lesions were related significantly to wear facets. These
findings strengthen the evidence for the role of occlusal forces as an etiologic factor in noncarious lesions.
