A survey of clinicians' perceptions was therefore conducted at a recent professional meeting to determine optimal approaches to NCCL management. Examples of lesions differing in depth (1, 2, and 3 mm) were presented as being either sensitive or nonsensitive, and participants recorded their responses to the presented individual scenarios. This report provides information regarding correlations between increases in lesion depth, lesion sensitivity, and professionals' willingness to restore them. It was also noted that decisions to ensure mechanical retention positively influenced estimates for restoration longevity. Int J Prosthodont 2014;27:87-90. doi: 10.11607/ijp.3585
