Study Notes
Class I
- Class I decay occurs in pits and fissures of occlusal surfaces of molars/premolars, as well as buccal or lingual pits of molars and lingual pits of maxillary incisors.
- Class I restoration typically involves amalgam or composite resins, with material choice based on lesion location and required strength.
Class II
- Class II decay affects the proximal (mesial or distal) surfaces of premolars and molars, often requiring radiographs for detection.
- Restoration options for Class II include strong silver amalgam or tooth-colored composite, with extensive decay potentially requiring gold or porcelain inlays, onlays, or crowns.
Class III
- Class III decay impacts the proximal surfaces of incisors and canines, similar to Class II but easier to access and less tooth structure is affected.
- Restoration for Class III utilizes composite resins, focusing on esthetic appearance.
Class IV
- Class IV decay also involves proximal surfaces of incisors and canines but includes the incisal edge, differentiating it from Class III.
- Restoration often uses composite resins for esthetics, with porcelain crowns considered for extensive decay.
Class V
- Class V decay is located on the gingival third of the facial or lingual surfaces of any tooth, known as smooth surface decay or gum line decay.
- Restoration choices depend on the tooth type; amalgam is preferred for posterior teeth, while composite is used for anterior teeth.
Class VI
- Class VI decay manifests on the incisal edges of anterior teeth and cusp tips of posterior teeth, typically caused by abrasion or defects.
- Restoration for Class VI emphasizes composite resins for an appealing esthetic finish.
