Carious and Non-Carious Cervical lesions : Etiology, Clinical characteristics and Treatment

Based on the etiology, Cervical lesion of tooth is broadly classified as Carious and Non-Carious lesions. The non-carious cervical lesions are further categorized into abrasion, erosion and abfraction. Early identification and accurate diagnosis are keys in the selection of appropriate prevention and treatment protocols. The purpose of this literature review is to review the clinical characteristics, etiology and treatment of class V cervical lesion.
