Abstract:
Hard tissue defects at cervical site of tooth has been called the wedge-shaped defect in China for a long time. Other terms, abfraction and non-carious cervical lesions have been proposed in early 1990s. These three different terms are reviewed and analyzed in the present article. The author suggests to use the term non-carious cervical lesions to replace the term wedge-shaped defect in China.
