Abstract:
Class V erosion lesions must be restored to reinstate esthetic appearance, overcome sensitivity, or prevent further loss of tooth structure. Restoration has been a problem, but, with the advent of adhesive techniques, it is far less traumatic. The most widely advocated method currently uses composite resin as the primary restorative material with dentin bonding agents. Type III glass ionomer lining cements are also suggested to provide bonding to the dentin. This paper details the requirements for clinical success in the restoration of the Class V erosion lesion using Type II restorative esthetic glass ionomer cements as the primary restorative material with the possible addition of composite resin as a final veneer only if circumstances warrant it.

Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
