It is presented in varied morphology, with sensitivity or without it, the dental pulp reaching a compromise. Hunter classifies the LCNC in: abrasion, erosion, attrition and abfraction, as a cause of confusion to date because of its origin and location. The scientific evidence gives us different contributions of these injuries that are known in the development of this research. Methodology: a review of the available literature was carried out using the PubMed and Cochrane database in our studies in English and Spanish reported from 2014 to 2019; POOL (Preferred report elements of systematic reviews and meta-analyzes) ensuring the quality of the information. Conclusion: LCNC present varied etiology, requires the interaction of several factors for its development. It was observed more frequently in adult patients (80%) whose prevalence increases with age.
