Class V Restorations Flashcards
What are Class V restorations?

- Usually involves FACIAL aspect of ANTERIOR & bicuspid
What are some reasons for preforming Class V restorations?
1) Caries
2) Abrasion
3) Abfraction
4) Erosion
5) Combination of all the above
What are the causes of Cervical Caries?
1) Poor hygiene
2) Exposed roots from gingival recession

- other habits
What is the appearance of Abrasion like?
- Tends to have a dished out appearance
- Can affect teeth in groups
- Shallow and smooth on both occlusal and gingival walls
- Cavo-surface edge tends to be rounded
How does abreaction affect tooth structure?
- Working & balancing interferences create LATERAL loading which breaks down the tooth structure.
- Lower pH increases rate
What is the appearance of Abfraction like?
- Tends to have sharp V-cut notching especially on incisal or occlusal wall
- Sharp leading edge is NOT ALWAYS evident in combination cases
- Doesn’t take AWAY gingiva. AKA STRESS corrosion
What is Abfraction?
- Combination of abrasion and micro fractions = STRESS CORROSION
- Occlusally related and/or habitual
- Tooth is undergoing flexural strain
- Affects single teeth (often UPPER premolars first)
- TX: light cured GIC
In Abfraction, “Stress Corrosion” is _______________
Multi-factoral
How does abreaction affect tooth structure?
- Working & balancing interferences create LATERAL loading which breaks down the tooth structure.

- Periodontal grafting (split thickness)
- Amalgams
- GI
- Composites
- Occlusal adjustment or mouth guards
- Combination of above
Do __________ interventions first and then _________ interventions
- Chemical
- Mechanical
When should GLUMA be used?
- If pt has sensitivity.
- Need good isolation because it is caustic
- Precipitates preteens in the dentin tubules & resin penetrates dentin & creates seal (NOT PERMANENT)
Note: it is permanent under restoration
With Amalgam preps the outline tens to be more ______. The cave-surface have no ________
- Angular
- Bevels
The PA (Polyacrylic Acid) AKA Dentin conditioner does what ?
- Microscopically DEMINERALIZES enamel & dentin = INCREASES surface area
- INCREASES bond strength
- Removes smear layer
- 0.5 micron non-rinse-able gel phase remains on dentin (Ca-collagen salt) has STRONGER bond strength to dentin than GI itself
Pre-mixed compules are the _________ type of GI
-Best
What bur can be used to remove excess GI?
-12 fluted finishing burs (135 EF diamond)
NOTE: ALWAYS use WATER SPRAY!!!
What does the Resin coat do?

- Ensures moisture free set
- help wear resistance
- Place composite in _______ increments.
- Adding single bulk of composite will result in ___________ and eventually ________ & ________.
- less than 2 mm
- contraction gap
- Microleakage & failure
What is alternative method of placing composite?
- Filling form gingival vs filling from incisal
- Flowable composite layer
Which composite (paste or flowable) causes less shrinkage?
-Paste
When is flowable composite useful?
- When placed on first layer w/ abfraction bc it has more elasticity.
- If worried about LATERAL loading and you want it to go to retention grooves
What is the traditional method of placing composite ?
- Placed in 3 layers
- First layer in incisal layer –Cured
- Second filling on top of 1st layer not all the way to surface (follows DEJ dentin color)
- Third layer sits on top of 2 layers (follows enamel shade color)
Why would you ever extend bevels to proximal line angles?
For color blending
Prep should look __________ after curing, means its coating with _________ (oxygen inhibited layer)
- Shiny
- Resin
What are the basic rules of composite finishing techniques?
1) Maintain the contour of the tooth
2) Avoid the “voids”
3) Don’t damage the cementum
4) Don’t leave composite over the margins
5) Maintain a high luster/polish
6) When using diamonds (135 EF) ALWAYS go from tooth to composite w/ feathering technique
How do we apply the final glaze?
- Reapply etchant over composite for 20 SEC
- Apply Opti-guard w/ applicator and blow thin
- Light cure for 20 SEC
- Floss
What causes leaky restorations (looks like staining on teeth) ?
1) Shrinkage (putting all the composite on at once)
2) Not condensing well
3) Excess material (flash can pick up stain)
What can cause brown stain close to the gingiva ?
- Flash got chipped off
- Lateral loading on the tooth
- More elastic composite (flowable)
- Looks like gray stain at the gum line from composite?
- Facial surface stains from composite?
- Contraction gap (too much composite much at once)
- Facial surface stains? Uneven polishing (picks up coffee and food stains)
Whats the brown spots next to the amalgam/GI?
- Cavity and defect (maybe extend and include that )
- GI will provide protection
When composite or GI is bonded to re-mineralized enamel what occurs?
-Leakage occurs
27 year old, very sensitive to cold, sudden sharp last seconds. No “occlusal interferences” (when you fxn & specific teeth are hitting prematurely).
What if pt not sensitive?
- pt may be GRINDING give her a Night guard.
- Root exposed below CEJ.
- Early signs of abfraction
- Do a gum graft before GLUMA and restoration
-If pt not sensitive don’t do anything!!!
40 yr old has old GI it is failing & recession and notching has gotten worse, pt claims he does not grind his teeth.
To treat this tooth what critical info did I forget to tell you?
-Pt’s often don’t notice if they grind during their sleep!
-Sandwich technique :)
(Protect outer layer w/ composite)
- Adjust retention, or give patient mouthguard.
- We are concerned about retention make Incisal bevels LARGER for more retention.
56 yr old complains of appearance. Asymptomatic, grinds only on this tooth in lateral function.
- What is a lateral interference again?
- What story does this picture tell?
- What would you do first? Perio or composite?
- Abfraction is severe on that one tooth laterally.
- Lateral interference: Tooth wearing away above composite
- Do a light test to see if crack is symptomatic its deep .. IF Crack is on surface, no crown just restore.
- Sandwich technique
- COMBO CASE of Abfraction and Abrasion
- Do Perio first! A gum graft first than a sandwich technique
**Using articulating paper; Adjust occlusion on that one tooth
What if she was 95 yrs and had a toothache?
- Endo & crown or extract w/ partial
- Extract w/ Kevlar
65 yr old complains of acute. spontaneous and reversible discomfort. Food gets stuck and wants it corrected. She is overly thin & grinds a lot.
- First diagnosis? “Erosion” b/c enamel is SUPER SHINY
- Pt probably has gastric problem (give MEDICAL REFERRAL)
- Composite (close up tubules to reduce discomfort)
- GI, comp-flowable
23 yr old complains of extreme sensitivity, short duration. Gum recession seems to be accelerating..
What is the etiology ?
Etiology: Ortho. teeth tilted outward. Bone is reabsorbed
- Pre-molar acts as cuspid, lateral loading
- Limited attached gingiva Post-Ortho Fenestration
- Occlusally exacerbated
- Do gum graft and restoration after!
- Remove comp # 29, citric acid root # 29 & peril graft 29 thru 27.
- # 29 & 28 comp w/ retention
- Mouthguard

What is Cervical Abrasion?
-Abrasion is the pathologic wearing away of tooth structure through an abnormal mechanical process.
–A common form is toothbrush abrasion. Which produces a V-shaped notch in the cervical portion of the tooth and may cause sensitivity.
What is Attrition?
- Occlusal wear resulting from functional contacts w/ opposing teeth.
- Attrition refers to the wearing away of tooth structure b/c of tooth-to-tooth contact.
- Considered a physiologic rather than a pathologic process, appears that most excessive wear patterns are produced by abnormal situations.
- Accelerated thru bruxism or if teeth are missing.
- Restoration of these worn away teeth may result in occlusal interferences or fracture of restoration if the original anatomy is recreated rather than the acquired anatomy.
What is Abfraction?
- Wedge-shaped lesions occurring in the cervical enamel. The lesion may be a result of occlusal loading & flexure.
- Happens when non-axial tooth loading leads to cusp flexure & stress concentration int he vulnerable cervical region.
- Such stress is directly or indirectly contributed to the loss of cervical tooth substance.

What is Abfraction?
- Wedge-shaped lesions, NOT CAUSED by TOOTH DECAY occurring in the cervical enamel (along gum line). The lesion may be a result of “occlusal loading & flexure”.
- Happens when non-axial tooth loading leads to cusp flexure & stress concentration in the vulnerable cervical region.
-Such stress is directly or indirectly contributed to the loss of cervical tooth substance or weakened & worn away
leaving a non-carious lesion on tooth surface.
