Gingivally submerged cervical erosion lesion--a clinical problem.

The technique used to treat cervical erosion lesions that are buried beneath the crest of the gingival tissue is described. With proper isolation of the field and careful gingival retraction as prerequisites, the surface topography of the completed restoration is almost indistinguishable from the adjacent enamel, and the gingival tissue response is good.

Bonded silver amalgam restorations.

Although silver amalgam is a strong, stable, technique-insensitive material, its use requires the removal of more intact tooth structure than adhesive materials in order to provide long-term retention. Thus remaining tooth structure is weakened rather than strengthened. Bonded silver amalgam restorations, on the other hand, have excellent retention, don't require pins, strengthen remaining tooth structure, eliminate the likelihood of cuspal fracture, and eliminate postoperative sensitivity.
