Study Notes
Posterior Resin Composite Restorations
- Esthetic restorations are replacing metallic ones due to patient demand, advancements in adhesive dentistry, and conservation in cavity preparations. Concerns about mercury are also significant.
Challenges in Posterior Resin Composite Restorations
- Posterior teeth face high occlusal forces.
- Proximal wear is a common issue.
- Large cavities (high C factor) are difficult to manage.
- Restoring proximal contacts is crucial.
- Resin composite manipulation can be sensitive.
- Accessibility issues are common in certain situations.
Successful Posterior Resin Composite Restoration
- Proper patient and material selection is essential.
- Conservative cavity designs are ideal.
- Effective isolation improves adaptation.
- Optimal wedging and matrixing rebuilds proximal contacts and marginal ridges.
- Robust bonding ensures optimal marginal and internal adaptation, preventing hypersensitivity.
- Accurate resin composite application restores lost tooth contour.
- A long-lasting surface finish and polish increases the restoration's longevity.
