Class V-restorations represent a challenge in treatment that is often underestimated due to their usually close proximity to the gingiva at the cervical margin and other specific features. Accordingly, in the literature, the long-term survival rates of these restorations fall short of those of other direct adhesive restorations.
The following article presents a new technique that can help to avoid problems during the filling process of these cavities. In a first step, this so-called BERK-technique aims at a sealing of the critical gingival margin by a targeted stepwise application of flowable resin-based composite in order to facilitate subsequent filling steps.
