Abstract
Despite the paucity of research into non-carious cervical tooth surface loss it was concluded that the number and size of lesions increases with age, lesions are more common on the facial aspects of teeth and the formation of lesions appears to be multi-factorial with lesion shape not being a predictor of aetiology. It was also concluded that the value of restoring these lesions, where indicated, is unclear and that occlusal adjustment to increase the retention of restorations placed to restore lesions or to halt lesion progression cannot be supported.
