Approximately 18 percent of all permanent teeth have Class V lesions. In addition, the prolonged retention of teeth in an increasingly older population is expected to increase the prevalence of Class V lesions. Much has been written about the merits of various techniques for restoring such lesions, but little information is available comparing and contrasting all the material and procedural options available to the general dentist. Etiologies, indications for treatment, and restorative materials are discussed to provide guidance in planning treatment. A diagnostic decision tree is proposed for this dynamic area of restorative dentistry.
所有恒牙中约18%患有V类洞病变。此外，随着人口老龄化，牙齿保留时间延长，预计V类洞病变的患病率会增加。关于修复此类病变的各种技术的优点已有很多著述，但对于普通牙医可选用的所有材料和操作选项进行比较和对比的信息却很少。本文将讨论病因、治疗指征和修复材料，为治疗计划提供指导。针对牙体修复学这一动态领域，提出了一个诊断决策树。
