Successful restoration of load-bearing cavities in posterior teeth with direct-replacement resin-based composite

F J Burke et al. Dent Update. 2001 Oct.

Abstract

Successful restoration of posterior teeth with resin-based restorative materials requires the clinician to be aware of the factors influencing success. These include correct patient and cavity selection, correct choice of material, identifying a matrix system that will achieve a tight contact, and correct placement methods. A means of avoiding stress due to polymerization shrinkage should also be used.
