title: Subgingival restorations with resin ionomer: a periodontal alternative.
abstract: The successful use and placement of subgingival resin-ionomer restorations in both anterior root and molar furcation defects are demonstrated in this article. Sustained tissue health and minimal probing depths at the surgical site demonstrate clinical success. These case reports illustrate the continued success of alternative treatment procedures for restoring subgingival mechanical root or periodontal lesions.
