The
patient presented with 6 lower anterior teeth only and a
partial
lower denture. The caries rate was apparently increasing
because of changed circumstances and existing restorations
were in poor form and required replacement. This shows the
cervical composite restoration on the lower right canine
from
the labial. |
 figure2 |
The
same tooth showing the root surface caries on the lingual
and distal surfaces. There is a temporary restoration of zinc
oxide and eugenol at the distal. |
 figure3 |
The
old composite resin restoration has been removed from the
labial cervical margin and the walls have been cleaned down
to sound dentine. |
 figure4 |
The
completed cavity from the lingual. Again the margins are all
in sound dentine to ensure good adhesion with the glass-ionomer. |
 figure5 |
The
completed restoration in resin modified glass-ionomer viewed
from the labial. The restoration was placed incrementally
in three stages. |
 figure6 |
The
completed restoration viewed from the lingual. |
 figure7 |
The
completed restoration viewed from the labial photographed
2 years after placement. The end result is satisfactory |
