Aim: The current retrospective case-control study aimed to evaluate the relationship between occlusal factors, toothbrushing habits, and acidic food and beverage consumption with noncarious cervical lesions (NCCLs).
Materials and methods: The study sample included 200 people in Panihati, West Bengal, ranging in age from 15 to 70 years. In an initial clinical evaluation, 100 cases were chosen that showed one or more teeth with noncarious cervical wear. A skilled dentist performed occlusal examinations and periodontal probing on all patients and controls. The subjects were invited to fill out a self-administered questionnaire about their daily food, habits, and health. Data were examined using univariate and multivariate logistic regression with an alpha level of 0.05.
Results: Only bristle type, brushing technique, frequency of soft-drink consumption, brushing with dentifrices, and self-reported bruxism enhance the propensity of NCCLs in the univariate regression model. The strongest predictive model was created by combining bristle type, brushing technique, frequency of acidic drink consumption, and brushing teeth with dentifrices after meals. However, it only accurately identifies 80% of subjects.
Conclusion: Bristle type, brushing technique, frequency of acidic drink consumption, and brushing teeth with dentifrices after meals are a few of the risk factors associated with NCCLs.
Clinical significance: Noncarious cervical lesion has a multifactorial etiology. This study highlights a few of the vital risk factors, and it is advisable for clinicians to take them into account while diagnosing and treating patients.
