Utilization of a small-particle composite resin for anterior and posterior restorations

The ability to acid etch enamel has resulted in the proliferation of adhesive dental techniques that enable conservation of sound tooth structure during the preparation and restorative phases. Recent research has focused on the clinical procedures that use composite resins as well as the material formulations involved in adhesive treatment. This article discusses the physical and optical properties of a composite resin with a smaller filler particle and demonstrates its utilization in anterior and posterior applications as a means of providing functional aesthetic dental care.
