Unlabelled:
Many factors contribute to the achievement of clinical success with direct posterior composite restorations: (1) analysis of the occlusion and opposing dentition, (2) complete excavation of dental caries, (3) analysis of residual tooth structure, (4) control of polymerization stresses by using appropriate layering and curing techniques, (5) occlusal force equilibration, and (6) patient compliance to maintain good oral health. The goal of this paper was to provide a clinical protocol for the direct restoration of severely damaged posterior teeth, analyzing the benefit and limits of a similar procedure.
Clinical Significance:
This paper is intended to introduce specific esthetic and functional guidelines for the placement of cusp-capping restorations using resin-bonded composite.
