Advances in restorative materials. Academic Article

abstract

• This article has presented basic up-to-date information concerning the selection, properties, and clinical uses of current restoratives that are tooth colored and adhesive. This area in dentistry is advancing at an exponential rate, and it is essential that all practitioners pay constant attention to the information about all materials as they appear on the market. Coupled with a thorough knowledge of treatment planning and case design, results such as seen in Figure 4 make restorative practice a rewarding endeavor for clinicians and patients. Interest in the scientific background, development, and performance of restorative materials must be at a high level to avoid being snared by advertising promises.
