Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the influence of certain oral hygienic habits (such as general hygiene of the mouth, frequency of toothbrushing, toothbrush hardness) on non-carious lesion development. The study was conducted on 873 subjects, aged 10 yrs or older. Results showed that there is a statistically significant difference regarding oral hygiene between subjects with cervical lesions and those without them. Furthermore, there is no statistically significant difference in non-carious cervical lesion development regarding frequency of toothbrushing and toothbrush hardness.
