Restorations of eroded areas



GJ Mount

University of Adelaide, Australia.

Class V erosion lesions must be restored to reinstate esthetic appearance, overcome sensitivity, or prevent further loss of tooth structure. Restoration has been a problem, but, with the advent of adhesive techniques, it is far less traumatic. The most widely advocated method currently uses composite resin as the primary restorative material with dentin bonding agents. Type III glass ionomer lining cements are also suggested to provide bonding to the dentin. This paper details the requirements for clinical success in the restoration of the Class V erosion lesion using Type II restorative esthetic glass ionomer cements as the primary restorative material with the possible addition of composite resin as a final veneer only if circumstances warrant it.
