About the Course

Course Description

Class V lesions—whether carious or non-carious cervical lesions (NCCLs)—are frequently misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and inconsistently treated. Their varied etiologies and presentations often leave clinicians uncertain about when and how to intervene, and many practitioners feel frustrated when Class V restorations show reduced longevity compared to other restorations.

In this course, attendees will gain clarity on the true nature of Class V lesions and learn evidence-based strategies for diagnosis, prevention, and restorative management. Dr. Hakim will highlight the often-overlooked opportunities to improve patient care through predictable identification and treatment of these lesions in everyday practice.

After this course, clinicians will leave with increased confidence in managing Class V lesions using an optimized clinical approach. With NCCLs becoming increasingly common, now is the time to strengthen your strategy and elevate outcomes for your patients.

  • Understand the etiology of Class V lesions
  • Review evidence-based prevention strategies
  • Determine when Class V lesions should be restored
