Practical application of composite resin techniques in the posterior dentition

Abstract

Posterior direct resin restorations are the combination of appreciation of anatomy, form and art. We require an understanding of the ideal form and metrics to control occlusal forces whilst layering our composite resin in the most amenable fashion to enable a predictable and asymptomatic restoration which looks and functions much like that of the natural dentition. In this article, and his associated presentation at the British Dental Conference and Exhibition 2016, Dr Chandrapal will discuss the methodology and practical based tips required to form clinical success within the environment of limited time, thus avoiding unnecessary complexities.
