Novel 3-dimensional classification of cervical abrasion using CBCT: A comprehensive analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Tooth cervical abrasion (CA) is a prevalent non-carious cervical lesion that poses challenges for accurate diagnosis from periapical radiographs due to difficulties in assessing the lesion's extent, associated bone loss, and pulpal involvement. The presence of overlying bone structures on the palatal side when lesions are located on the buccal side, or vice versa, further complicates radiographic interpretation. So it is important to define the lesions in all three dimensions.

Objective

To provide a three-dimensional descriptive classification for cervical abrasion lesions using Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).

Method

A total of 50 patients with cervical abrasion were selected for the study. From these patients, teeth (n = 10) from each of the four d
