Study Notes
Posterior Resin Composite Restorations
- Esthetic restorations are replacing metallic restorations due to patient demand, modern adhesive dentistry, conservative cavity preparations, and mercury concerns.
Challenges in Posterior Resin Composites
- High occlusal stresses
- Proximal wear
- Large cavities (high C-factor)
- Restoring proximal contacts
- Technique sensitivity of resin composite material
- Difficulty in accessing restoration sites
Successful Restoration Factors
- Careful patient and material selection
- Conservative cavity design
- Effective isolation techniques for better adaptation to the tooth structure
- Optimal wedging and matrixing to reconstruct proximal contacts and marginal ridges
- Perfect bonding for minimal postoperative sensitivity, achieving ideal marginal and internal adaptation
- Precise resin composite application to recreate the tooth's natural contour
- Long-lasting surface finish and polish to increase restoration longevity
