Study Notes
Posterior Resin Composite Restorations
- Esthetic resin composite restorations are replacing metal restorations due to increased patient demand, advancements in adhesive dentistry, and conservation efforts in cavity preparations.
- Concerns for posterior composite restorations include heavy occlusal stress, proximal wear, large cavity size (high C factor), restoring proximal contacts, sensitivity to technique, and material handling difficulties.
- Successful restoration relies on careful selection of patient and material.
- Conservative cavity design is crucial.
- Effective isolation is important for better adaptation.
- Optimal wedging and matrixing are essential to reconstruct proximal contacts and marginal ridges.
- Effective bonding results in seamless marginal and internal adaptation, preventing postoperative sensitivity.
- Correct composite application ensures proper reconstruction of missing contours.
- A long-lasting, polished surface finish improves restoration longevity.
