Study Notes
Posterior Resin Composite Restorations
- Esthetic restorations are replacing metallic ones due to patient demand, advancements in adhesive dentistry, conservative cavity preparations, and mercury toxicity concerns.
Challenges in Posterior Resin Composite Restorations
- High occlusal stress.
- Proximal wear.
- Large cavity preparations (high C factor).
- Reconstructing proximal contacts.
- Resin composite's technique sensitivity.
- Resin composite's handling difficulties (limited accessibility).
Factors for Successful Posterior Resin Composite Restorations
- Appropriate patient and material selection.
- Conservative cavity design.
- Effective isolation techniques.
- Optimal wedging and matrixing for proximal contacts and marginal ridges.
- Perfect bonding for marginal and internal adaptation, preventing postoperative sensitivity.
- Accurate resin composite application to reconstruct the lost tooth contour.
- Long-lasting surface finish and polish for extended restoration lifespan.
