Interventions

The present cross-sectional clinical study aims to collect data to characterize patterns of tooth wear, with emphasis on non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs), and to investigate their possible associa
(2) clinical examination using the Tooth Wear Evaluation System (TWES 2.0) to classify tooth wear
(3) complete intraoral scanning of the dental arches and photographic documentation
(4) quantitative and qualitative analysis of the data obtained. The scanning images will be digitally analyzed to measure wear on different tooth surfaces, aiming to identify morphological patterns a

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To characterize the lesions and assess the association between dental wear and etiological factors in adult patients diagnosed with temporomandibular disorders.
