Abstract:
A new simplified technique for restoring moderate-to-large Class I occlusal cavities has been proposed. This technique utilizes split increment horizontal placement of composite resin, combined with shade or chroma stratification. It is believed that this technique will minimize the detrimental effects of polymerization shrinkage on the adhesive interface and cavity walls.
