Study Notes
Class I Restoration
- Affects pits and fissures on occlusal surfaces of molars and premolars.
- Involves decay in buccal or lingual pits of molars and lingual pits of maxillary incisors.
Class II Restoration
- Targets proximal surfaces (mesial and distal) of premolars and molars.
- Commonly encountered in dental decay affecting multiple surfaces.
Class III Restoration
- Concerns proximal surfaces (mesial and distal) of incisors and canines.
- Typically associated with carious lesions in anterior teeth.
Class IV Restoration
- Involves proximal surfaces (mesial or distal) of incisors and canines.
- Characterized by decay that affects the incisal edge or angle of the tooth.
Class V Restoration
- Occurs on the gingival buccal areas of teeth.
- Generally related to caries near the gum line, often due to plaque accumulation.
Class VI Restoration
- Impacts incisal edges of anterior teeth and cusp tips of posterior teeth.
- Caused by abrasion (wear) and defects in enamel or dentin.
