Today, we use Class V Lesion to describe the various “gumline” preparations and restorations with (in most cases) composite resin. This use of the dental nomenclature may result in less-than-optimal dental outcomes if it is not fully understood.

Jul 27, 2017 · For this article I’d like to review the steps I use for placing direct composites in Class V lesions. Class V lesions, commonly referred to as cervical erosion, and in the literature as NCCLs (non-carious cervical lesions), can be extremely difficult to restore predictably.

Successful Class V restorations require strict adherence to proper adhesive protocols, material opacity selection and finishing/polishing techniques. When restored properly, these composite restorations will service the patient for years to come.

Feb 1, 2016 · By utilizing a matrix that creates a sealed system, free of crevicular fluids and any blood, coupled with the injection molding of today’s excellent composite materials, one will overcome many of the pitfalls associated with the failures at …

Feb 1, 2015 · Class V composite restorations are placed every day in the restorative dental practice. Whether the cause is dental caries or abfraction, this area of the tooth can be deceptively difficult to restore in a predictable fashion.

Jan 9, 2015 · Class III, IV, and V direct composite restorations are mainly indicated in the restoration of caries lesions (Class III, IV, and V), anterior enamel and/or dentin crown fractures (Class IV), and non-carious cervical defects (Class V). Almost all Class III and IV restorations are appropriately restored with composite.

In the current study, the use of preheating composite resin (Group 1) in class V restoration presented better internal adaptation than the use of the same composite resin in room temperature (Group 5).

The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate the internal adaptation of Class V composite restorations to the cavity walls using three different techniques of polymerization. Standard cavities were prepared on the buccal and lingual surfaces ...

Class V restorations remedy lost tooth structure on the facial and lingual surfaces.This Handbook develops Class V methodology from simplest to most complex in the following sequence; Class V preamble and discussion; Class V abfraction; Class V abrasion. enamel only; dentin and enamel; Class V carious lesion. Before treating the neglectful ...

This clinical study evaluated a Class V flowable composite resin restoration system and its ability to reduce dentin sensitivity. Twenty-one patients required Class V restorations because of erosion, abrasion, or decay at the cervical area. Each patient exhibited moderate or severe sensitivity and required replacement of tooth structure.
