Treatment of NCCL Asociated With Gingival Recession With B.O.P.T. Technique

Treatment of NCCL Asociated With Gingival Recession With B.O.P.T. Technique

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the gingival margin changes resulting from the treatment with biologically oriented preparation technique (B.O.P.T.) of non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). In particular, the quantification of the cervical margin is carried out by an intraoral scanning device, both in length and width.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Over 18 years of age, all sex;
• Presence of a non-carious lesion with loss of dental hard tissue, located in the cervical third of the tooth, and associated with R1 Cairo dental recession; as well, the tooth must be in a healthy condition.

Exclusion Criteria:

• In the tooth to be treated: presence of tartar, periodontal pocket, gingival hypertrophy and/or dental mobility grades II and III; as well as presence of necrosis, fractures and prosthetic restorations;
• Presence of diabetes, coagulopathies, hemostatic and hormonal alterations, smoking habit of more than 10 cigarettes/day;
• Patients being treated with drugs whose side effects may cause gingival hypertrophy (eg hydantoins);
• Presence of any physical and/or mental condition that prevents voluntary giving informed consent to participate in the study.
