Area of Science:

  • Restorative Dentistry
  • Dental Materials Science

Background:

  • Managing deep proximal-cervical Class V lesions presents significant clinical challenges.
  • Traditional approaches may require more invasive procedures, risking pulp exposure and increased tooth sensitivity.

Observation:

  • An atraumatic isolation technique was employed to minimize patient discomfort and preserve tooth structure.
  • A conservative instrumentation sequence was utilized, focusing on selective enamel removal and dentin preservation.

Findings:

  • The application of a highly viscous, rapid-setting, capsulated glass ionomer cement proved effective in restoring the complex lesion.
  • This approach facilitated a minimally invasive and efficient chairside procedure.

Implications:
