Abstract:
AIM: The aim of this study is to evaluate the knowledge awareness and perception of Dental students about sandwiched technique and direct composite technique of restoration in class V cervical lesions BACKGROUND: Class V lesions are lesions that occur at the cervical aspect of the buccal or lingual surfaces of the tooth. The sandwiched technique includes application of RMGIC and tooth coloured composite resin in cervical lesions. In recent times, composites have imposed themselves as restorative alternatives to GIC for the restoration of class V cervical lesions due to their superior esthetic properties, improved adhesive capacity due to modern dentin adhesives, and increased mechanical properties. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study has adopted a cross- sectional study design with a sample size of 100 dental students and interns. The participants belonged to undergraduation and postgraduation which are the clinical years of the course. All participants answered a questionnaire to determine their knowledge and awareness regarding the material of choice and technique used. RESULT: From the survey conducted, 90% of the participants are aware about the direct composite restoration of class V cervical lesions and 67% of the participants are aware about the sandwiched technique of restoration of the lesion. CONCLUSION: From the survey conducted, it can be concluded that awareness among dental students about sandwiched technique and RMGIC of restoring class V cervical lesion is low. Hence, awareness and practice must be enhanced on sandwich technique of restoring deep class V cervical lesions.
