Noncarious cervical lesions characterised by tooth structure loss at the cemento-enamel junction have no relationship to dental caries. The appearance of NCCLs varies; some have shallow depressions, while others have broad, disc-shaped or huge, wedge-shaped abnormalities. Meanwhile, the cervix of the tooth is the most commonly impacted region by dentine hypersensitivity, an unpleasant sensation caused by exposed cervical dentine in reaction to temperature, evaporative, and tactile stimuli, among others [1]...
