Keywords:
Non-carious cervical lesions, Sawai classificationAbstract
Objective: The study aims to identify factors associated with non-carious cervical lesions according to the Sawai classification among patients visiting and receiving treatment at the Department of Odonto-Stomatology, Da Nang C Hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 44 patients with untreated non-carious cervical lesions. The investigated factors included gender, toothbrushing method, type of toothbrush, habit of consuming acidic foods, intake of carbonated soft drinks, alcohol consumption (>250 ml/week), bruxism, and tooth loss status. Associations were analyzed with a statistical significance level of p<0.05. Results: No statistically significant association was found between gender, type of toothbrush, consumption of acidic foods, intake of carbonated soft drinks, alcohol consumption, or tooth loss status and non-carious cervical lesions according to the Sawai classification (p>0.05). The horizontal toothbrushing method was significantly associated with type A non-carious cervical lesions (p<0.001). Notably, bruxism showed a clear association with non-carious cervical lesions across all three types A, B, and C (p<0.05). Conclusion: There is an association between the horizontal toothbrushing method and type A non-carious cervical lesions according to the Sawai classification. In addition, bruxism is an important risk factor associated with non-carious cervical lesions across all three types.
