title: Class V restorations utilizing a new compomer material: a case presentation.
abstract: Restorative materials used in the anterior cervical region should be able to restore the affected area in an aesthetic manner, require only a minimal amount of tooth structure removal, and provide protection from further cervical decalcification. The latest generation of restorative materials have combined the qualities of composite resins and glass-ionomers. Some of these materials incorporate resin components into glass-ionomer systems and are termed resin-modified glass-ionomers; others add glass-ionomer particles to acidic polymerizable monomers in a resin matrix and are commonly called "compomers." The learning objective of this case report is to present a step-by-step clinical procedure for restoration of a Class V defect in the maxillary anterior region, using a recently introduced "compomer."
