title: Dental Materials: What Goes Where? Class V Restorations.
abstract: A large number of Class V restorations are placed per annum to restore cervical lesions. This paper evaluates the pathogenesis of these lesions, with particular reference to the role of occlusal factors, and reviews the literature in order to provide advice on the material(s) which are most likely to produce optimal longevity of a Class V restoration. CPD/CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Resin-modified glass ionomer materials appear to provide optimal survival for a Class V restoration, but a (flowable) comDosite miaht Droduce a better aesthetic result.
