– Gluma and Gluma/Scotchbond were used in cervical abrasion/erosion lesions mediating a bond between a resinous restorative material and dentin. The lesions were restored without acid etching of enamel and without use of an intermediary layer of an enamel bonding agent. 142 restorations were placed. The restorations were evaluated clinically using the USPHS‐system at the baseline and every half year during a 3‐yr period. After 36 months the Gluma and Gluma/Scotchbond restorations showed a 14.3% and 7.4%, cumulative loss of retention respectively. No secondary caries was observed during the evaluation period.
