Cervical lesions treated in patients at the undergraduate Clinic of the Restorative Dentistry in Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Buenos Aires (RD-FOUBA)

Abstract

Objective: To assess different aspects related to cervical lesions treated at the RD-FOUBA undergraduate clinic. Methods: A Google Form (F) was created and validated in small groups to collect and systematize the information that students record in each patient's medical history during the restorative activity. Participants were instructed to complete the F at the end of each session. The cutoff time was 4/2023 - 5/2025. Based on the responses obtained, the following aspects were evaluated: frequency, site, number of composite layers and colors used, time, and perception of the time spent. Data were analyzed using rates (95%CI), mean (standard deviation). Expected Results: Information was collected on 866 restorations. CLs were the least frequently restored lesions (8.55% (6.86-10.60); Most 65% (53.77-75.25), during first four-month periods. 22.22% (14.17-33.09) in canines, 9.72% (4.79-18.73) in upper incisors, 33.33% (15.30-34.60) in first premolars 33.33% (23.54-44.82), 23.61% (15.30-34.60) in lower premolars and 5.56% (2.18-13.44) in molars. 3.65 (1.39) layers of composite were employed. The most used colors were. A2: 43.06% (32.26-54.56) and A3: 33.33% (23.54-44.82) enamel, and A3 45.83% (34.82-57.26) dentin. 68.06% (56.61-77.67) spent 2 hours or more, which most considered adequate. Conclusions: More than 68% of the cervical lesions studied required two hours or more to complete their restoration, and the most commonly used shades were EA2, EA3, and DA3.UBACYT 20720220200020BA
