Understanding the characteristics of naturally shaded composite resins

Composite resin formulations have proliferated in recent years, and clinicians are challenged to understand the nuances and technical requirements involved in the successful application of each individual system. Depending on the user's material of choice, the restorative protocol follows the resin layering sequence traditionally used by either clinicians or laboratory technicians. To clarify comprehension of each, this presentation discusses the characteristics of a naturally shaded composite resin and demonstrates their application in the direct restoration.
