Composite

There are no limits to science. Each advance merely widens the sphere of exploration.The concept of aesthetic dentistry has gained recognition in the recent past and tooth colored composite restorations are more acceptable to the patients due to their aesthetic.The science and technology of composite dental restorative materials have advanced considerably over the past 10 years. They have become a viable substitute for amalgam in many clinical situations. Problems still exist with polymerization stresses, differences in the CTE of composites compared with tooth structure and technique sensitivity.However, new expanding resins, nanofiller technology and improved bonding systems have the potential to reduce these problems.With increased patient demands for esthetic restoration, the use of direct filling composite material will continue to grow.
