Composition and Structure of Cementum: Strategies for Bonding

  • Chapter

Abstract

The cervical margin of class-II and class-V cavities is usually located below the cemento-enamel junction. This area poses a clinical problem in adhesive resin restorations, since the margins of the cavities are limited by cementum (Fig. 8.1), a calcified tissue exhibiting several histo-morphological and functional variations from the dental structures that have been extensively evaluated as bonding substrates (enamel and dentin).
