Brandini DA et al. – The data showed a significant association between noncarious cervical lesion presence, tooth clenching, and nail biting, as well as a relation with temporomandibular disorder (TMD) diagnosis. In the noncarious cervical lesion group, direct rank correlation was found between maxillary premolars and clenching, mandibular canines and nail biting, and mandibular incisors and parafunctional habits without dental contacts. Parafunctional habits and TMD presence should be taken into account in the diagnosis and treatment plan of noncarious cervical lesions.
