Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Participants can be male or female; must be at least 18 and no more than 65 years old; have good oral hygiene; absence of periodontal disease; have at least 20 teeth in occlusion and of these three or more teeth must present noncarious cervical lesions (NCL) of the abfraction type; the lesions should be approximately 2 mm deep
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Participants with caries activity; unsatisfactory oral hygiene conditions; severe bruxism or other parafunctional habits; periodontal disease and systemic complications; participants who have undergone orthodontic or hypersensitivity treatments in the past six months will be excluded; in addition to pregnant and lactating women; teeth with abfraction lesions that have an implant or total prosthesis as an antagonist will also not be included in the research
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| We hope to assess the survival and quality of the restorations by means of a clinical evaluation using criteria such as: 1. colour stability and translucency; 2. surface gloss/smoothness; 3. surface colour; 4. anatomical shape; 5. fracture and retention; 6. marginal adaptation/discolouration; 7. patient's functional perception; 8. post-operative hypersensitivity; 9. pulp vitality; 10. recurrence of the initial pathology; 11. dental integrity and 12. periodontal response. These variables will be classified as very good, clinically good, clinically sufficient/satisfactory, clinically unsatisfactory but amenable to repair or clinically poor. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Spontaneous post-operative sensitivity is expected to be assessed one week after the restorative procedure, by asking the patient if they felt any pain during the period using the visual analogue scale (VAS) and at baseline (7 days), 6 months, 1, 3 and 4 years. | — |
