Abstract: The non-carious cervical lesion (NCCL) makes itself more present in the daily environment of an dentistry clinic. As it is a multifactorial etiology pathology, it is important that we should have the knowledge of such factors so we could have a proper diagnosis, favorable results regarding treatment and prevent future lesions. The loss of tooth structure and the gingival recession (GR) are both causes of patient’s complaints of sensitivity due to the exposure of dentinal tubules. This paper aims to report a clinical case on the combination therapy of NCCL associated with gingival recession. The treatment of choice was, firstly, the restoration of NCCLs in the maxillary premolars affected (14,15,24 and 25) with composite resin to in a second time, a combined root coverage surgery will be performed with subepithelial connective tissue graft. It was possible to conclude that the combined treatment of GRs and NCCLs, associating the restoration of lesions with composite resin with root coverage surgery by the tunneling technique provided complete root coverage and loss of tooth sensitivity.
