Restoring the Sclerotic Dentin Cervical Lesion

Several reports have indicated that resin bond strengths to non-carious sclerotic cervical dentine are lower than those to normal dentine. Sclerotic dentine is a clinically relevant bonding substrate in which the dentine has been physiologically and pathologically altered. Hypermineralized layer on sclerotic dentin surface is resisted to acid-etching. Partial or complete obliteration of the dentinal tubules and embedded bacteria in partially mineralized matrix have effect on adhesion of resin adhesive on dentin surface. The purpose of this review was to clarify the problems encounter with these lesions, recommendation and to restore class V sclerotic lesions.
