title: Non-carious cervical tooth loss: Part 1.
abstract: Non-carious cervical tooth loss is not always attributable to a single causative factor, as evidenced by the numerous terminologies used. In this, the first of two articles, the aetiology and prevalence of non-carious tooth loss are discussed. Guidelines are suggested as to how it may be diagnosed, prevented and monitored. A further article will cover the restorative management.
