Summary
This study details a technique for treating cervical erosion lesions below the gum line. Proper isolation and gingival retraction yield restorations that blend seamlessly with natural enamel, ensuring good tissue response.
Area of Science:
- Dental Restorations
- Periodontology
- Cariology
Background:
- Cervical erosion lesions pose a restorative challenge, especially when subgingival.
- Achieving esthetic and biologically compatible restorations in these areas requires precise techniques.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe a technique for restoring subgingival cervical erosion lesions.
- To evaluate the esthetic outcome and gingival tissue response to the described technique.
Main Methods:
- The technique involves meticulous isolation of the operating field.
- Careful gingival retraction is employed to expose the lesion.
- Restorations are completed with attention to surface topography.
Main Results:
- Restorations achieved surface topography nearly indistinguishable from adjacent enamel.
- Good gingival tissue response was observed post-treatment.
Conclusions:
- The described technique effectively restores subgingival cervical erosion lesions.
- It provides excellent esthetic integration and promotes favorable periodontal health.
