Modern photocured resin composites offer routine dental restorations. Future materials promise reduced shrinkage and enhanced durability, but current use in molars requires careful case selection and technique.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Materials Science
  • Restorative Dentistry

Background:

  • Photocured resin composites, introduced in the 1970s, have significantly advanced.
  • General dentists frequently utilize these materials for routine dental restorations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the advancements in photocured resin composites.
  • To discuss emerging materials with improved properties.
  • To provide current recommendations for clinical application.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of photocured resin composite development.
  • Analysis of current clinical recommendations.
  • Discussion of future material trends.

Main Results:

  • Significant progress has been achieved in resin composite technology.

  • Newer materials are being developed to address shrinkage and occlusal stress.
  • Current best practices emphasize careful patient selection for posterior composite restorations.

    • Conclusions:

    • While advancements are ongoing, judicious use of current posterior composites in molars is advised.
    • Avoiding occlusal stops on restorations and margins is a critical technique for longevity.
    • Future dental materials aim to overcome limitations of current resin composites.
