Abstract

Cervical abrasive lesions and class 5 composite restorations need
specific restorative material, which is retentive, moist resistant and has high aesthetics. The class 5 composite restoration is not immune to microleakage. Studies have shown that microleakage occurs more frequently and to a greater extent at the cervical margins of these restorations because of gingival sulcus secretion, low enamel thickness and often the presence o f dental cement at the cervical margins o f the preparation. Glass ionomer cements (GIC) are unacceptable because of insufficient aesthetics. Polyacid modified glass ionomer cements incorporate composite resins and GIC chemistry and enable chemical bonds to enamel and dentine, moist resistance, caries prophylaxis and high aesthetics.
