Repair of aged restorations made in direct resin composite – A systematic review

Direct cuspal-coverage posterior resin composite restorations: A case report.

The clinical success of direct composite restorations is the result of the correct use and performance of adhesive systems, resin composites and light curing systems. Total-etch adhesive systems and microhybrid resin composites have seen continuous improvement; various clinical techniques have been introduced to address polymerization shrinkage. Manufacturers have introduced sophisticated light...

Failure Rate of Direct High-Viscosity Glass-Ionomer Versus Hybrid Resin Composite Restorations in Posterior Permanent Teeth - a Systematic Review.

PURPOSE Traditionally, resin composite restorations are claimed by reviews of the dental literature as being superior to glass-ionomer fillings in terms of restoration failures in posterior permanent teeth. The aim of this systematic review is to answer the clinical question, whether conventional high-viscosity glass-ionomer restorations, in patients with single and/or multi-surface cavities in...

Factors influencing repair of dental restorations with resin composite

The presentation of patients with dental restorations that exhibit minor defects is one of the commonest clinical situations in the practice of general dentistry. The repair of such restorations, rather than replacement, is increasingly considered to be a viable alternative to replacement of the defective restoration. This paper considers factors influencing the repair of direct restorations, i...

Polishing of the Composite Resin Restorations – Literature Review

The widespread use of aesthetic f illings has highlighted their advantages and disadvantages. One of the most troublesome features of earlier aesthetic materials was the difficulty of finishing the restoration surface to decrease adherence of food debris. The rougher the finished surface, the greater the possibility of bacterial accumulation and discolouration of restoration along the restorati...
