title: Direct tooth-colored materials for noncarious lesions: a 3-year clinical report.
abstract: One hundred fifty-nine noncarious cervical lesions were restored with glass-ionomer cement, resin composite used with a dentinal bonding agent, or the laminate (sandwich) restoration, which combines both these materials. These restorations were evaluated at baseline, 1 year, and 3 years for color match, cavosurface marginal discoloration, anatomic form, marginal adaptation, and retention. There was a general deterioration of the restorations with time. Lesions restored with resin composite and a dentinal bonding agent exhibited the highest percentage of lost restorations.
