Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) of teeth have been documented in the literature and there are many cases with regard to every single type including attrition, abrasion, erosion, and abfraction. But very cases have been documented where all these lesions co exist and it is difficult to say which the causative lesion is and which other lesion causes the progression. This is a unique case where the causative factors and the etiology are dubious and vague patient history. The clinical findings, differential diagnosis, final diagnosis and the prognosis are discussed. Also the treatment of such lesions is important.

Abstract


Non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL) of teeth have been documented in the literature and there are many cases with regard to every single type including attrition, abrasion, erosion, and abfraction. But very cases have been documented where all these lesions co exist and it is difficult to say which the causative lesion is and which other lesion causes the progression. This is a unique case where the causative factors and the etiology are dubious and vague patient history. The clinical findings, differential diagnosis, final diagnosis and the prognosis are discussed. Also the treatment of such lesions is important.
