Clinical investigation of G-Bond resin-based adhesive to non-carious cervical lesions over five years

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical performance of G-Bond all-in-one adhesive with Gradia Direct resin composite placed in non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs) over a five-year period. Methods: Forty-seven restorations were placed in NCCLs in 10 subjects (age 45-75 years) after written informed consent was obtained.
