What is the proper cavity preparation for V-shaped cervical erosion lesion to be restored with glass ionomer cement

What is the proper cavity preparation for V-shaped cervical erosion lesion to be restored with glass ionomer cement:

  • A- Cervical groove, incisal groove.
  • B- Cervical groove, incisal bevel.
  • C- 4 retention points, 90ْ margin.
  • D- No Monday, January 24, 2000 Monday, January 24. 2000 mechanical preparation is necessary.

The proper cavity preparation for a V-shaped cervical erosion lesion to be restored with glass ionomer cement is A. Cervical groove, incisal groove.

Here's why the other options are not ideal:

B. Cervical groove, incisal bevel:

This option could be acceptable, but an incisal groove is generally preferred for additional retention and to optimize the bond of the glass ionomer to the dentin.

C. 4 retention points, 90° margin:

This type of preparation is more suitable for complex restorations, not necessary for a simple erosion lesion. Additionally, using sharp angles with glass ionomer can weaken the material and compromise its longevity.

D. No mechanical preparation is necessary:

While minimal preparation might be used in very superficial cases, some enamel removal through grooves is typically recommended to create a space for the glass ionomer and enhance adhesion.

Therefore, using cervical and incisal grooves provides sufficient retention for most V-shaped cervical erosion lesions while maximizing adhesion and minimizing material weakening.
Please note that the date options seem to be an error and unrelated to the question.
