Lesões cervicais não cariosas e síndrome do envelhecimento precoce bucal: revisão de literatura

Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The syndrome of early oral aging is a condition characterized by various factors, one of the main ones being the presence of non-carious cervical lesions. These lesions are defined as the loss of dental structure due to a combination of etiological factors. Factors such as friction, biocorrosion, and attrition, combined with patients' lifestyle and parafunctional habits, are key determinants in the onset of noncarious cervical lesions. In this context, adopting preventive measures against the syndrome of early oral aging (SEOA) becomes essential to prevent damage to the oral cavity, especially in young patients. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the etiological factors, clinical characteristics and treatment strategies associated with NCCL and its possible relationship with SEPB. METHODOLOGY: This study is a literature review based on searches conducted in the PUBMED and GOOGLE SCHOLAR databases, using the descriptors "dentin hypersensitivity," "Aging, Premature," "Non-carious cervical lesion," and their equivalents in Portuguese: "Hipersensibilidade dentinária," "Envelhecimento prematuro," and "Lesões cervicais não cariosas." RESULTS: After applying filters, 6,568 articles were identified. Following the analysis of titles and abstracts, 220 articles remained, of which 214 were excluded due to incomplete texts, duplication, or irrelevant topics. In the end, six articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected. Analyzing the selected articles reveals that premature aging of the population is a concerning reality. Factors such as acidic diets, physical exercise, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and psychological and psychiatric disorders directly influence oral health, leading to disorders that affect patients' quality of life. CONCLUSION: Based on the presented data, the importance of early diagnosis is highlighted. The use of advanced technologies has proven to be fundamental in assisting dental surgeons in identifying the main clinical factors in the oral cavity, such as non-carious lesions, which are recurrent in the syndrome of early oral aging.
