[Treatment of defects of the cervical portion by a "sandwich" filling].

Abstract

The authors draw attention to some peculiarities of treatment of class V cavities by aesthetic fillings. Combined filling made from silicocarboxyl cement and composite filling material prove useful. In teeth with preserved pulp sandwich fillings are used which contain three layers (base, intermediate retention layer of silicocarboxyl cement and composite material). In pulpless teeth, the base is not needed and the term combined filling (two layers) is more appropriate.
